Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/652 concerning the authorisation of bitter orange extract as a feed additive for certain animal species |
Tóm tắt |
Bitter orange extract was authorized 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. 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. 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 bitter orange extract for all animal species. The applicant requested bitter orange extract to be authorized also for use in water for drinking. However, Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 does not allow the authorization of flavouring compounds for use in water for drinking. Therefore, the use of bitter orange extract in water for drinking should not be allowed. The European Food Safety Authority ('the Authority') concluded in its opinion of 23 June 2021 that, under the proposed conditions of use, bitter orange extract does not have adverse effects on animal health, consumer health or the environment. The Authority also concluded that bitter orange extract should be considered as an irritant to skin and eyes, and as a skin and respiratory sensitiser. 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. The Authority concluded, that bitter orange extract is recognized 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.
