Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1419 of 22 August 2022 concerning the authorisation of buchu leaf essential oil from Agathosma betulina (P.J. Bergius) Pillans as a feed additive for all animal species |
Summary |
Buchu leaves oil was authorised without a time limit in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC as a feed additive for all animal species. That additive was subsequently entered in the Register of feed additives as an existing product, in accordance with Article 10(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 thereof, an application was submitted for the re-evaluation of an essential oil from the leaves of Agathosma betulina (P.J. Bergius) Pillans (buchu leaf essential oil) for all animal species. The applicant requested the additive to be classified in the additive category 'sensory additives' and in the functional group 'flavouring compounds'. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. The applicant requested the additive to be authorised also for use in water for drinking. However, Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 does not allow the authorisation of flavouring compounds for use in water for drinking. Therefore, the use of buchu leaf essential oil from Agathosma betulina (P.J. Bergius) Pillans in water for drinking should not be allowed. The Authority further concluded, that buchu leaf essential oil from Agathosma betulina (P.J. Bergius) Pillans is recognised to flavour food and its function in feed would be essentially the same as that in food, therefore, no further demonstration of efficacy is considered necessary. It also verified the report on the methods of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
