Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/1409 of 27 August 2021 concerning the authorisation of phytomenadione as a feed additive for horses |
Tóm tắt |
Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation. In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 an application was submitted for the authorisation of phytomenadione. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. The application concerns the authorisation of phytomenadione as a feed additive for horses. The applicant requested this additive to be classified in the additive category 'nutritional additives'. The European Food Safety Authority ('the Authority') concluded in its opinion of 17 March 2021 that, under the proposed conditions o f use, phytomenadione does not have adverse effects on animal health, consumer safety or the environment. The Authority concluded that users will not be exposed by inhalation when the additive is presented in solid form or viscous liquid. Data from the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety indicates that vitamin K1 can be categorised as a dermal sensitiser. For preparations, the Authority could not conclude on their potential to be toxic by inhalation or on their potential as skin/eye irritant. Therefore, the Commission considers that appropriate protective measures should be taken to prevent adverse effects on human health, in particular as regards the users of the additive and its preparations. The Authority concluded that phytomenadione is considered as an efficacious source of vitamin K1 for horses, when added to feed. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additives in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory se t up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. The assessment of phytomenadione shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of phytomenadione should be authorised. The measure s provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed.
