COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2021/2080
of 26 November 2021
concerning the authorisation of L-histidine monohydrochloride monohydrate produced by fermentation with Escherichia coli NITE SD 00268 as a feed additive for all animal species except finfish
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
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 an authorisation. |
(2) |
In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of the extension of use of L-histidine monohydrochloride monohydrate produced by fermentation with Escherichia coli NITE SD 00268 as a feed additive from finfish to all animal species. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. |
(3) |
The application concerns the authorisation of the extension of use of L-histidine monohydrochloride monohydrate produced by fermentation with Escherichia coli NITE SD 00268 as a feed additive from finfish to all animal species to be classified in the additive category ‘nutritional additives’, functional group ‘amino acids, their salts and analogues’, and in the additive category ‘sensory additives’, functional group ‘flavouring compounds’. |
(4) |
The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 5 May 2021 (2) that, under the proposed conditions of use, L-histidine monohydrochloride monohydrate produced by fermentation with Escherichia coli NITE SD 00268 does not have an adverse effect on animal health, consumers safety or the environment. The Authority also concluded for the additive in question that it was not possible to conclude on the potential for the additive to be toxic if inhaled, an irritant to eyes or a skin 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 also concluded that the additive is an efficacious source of the essential amino acid histidine and efficacious as a flavouring compound. |
(5) |
The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the reports on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. |
(6) |
The assessment of L-histidine monohydrochloride monohydrate produced by fermentation with Escherichia coli NITE SD 00268 shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of this additive should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation. |
(7) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
1. The substance L-histidine monohydrochloride monohydrate produced by fermentation with Escherichia coli NITE SD 00268 specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘nutritional additives’ and to the functional group ‘amino acids, their salts and analogues’, is authorised as a feed additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
2. The substance L-histidine monohydrochloride monohydrate produced by fermentation with Escherichia coli NITE SD 00268 specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘sensory additives’ and to the functional group ‘flavouring compounds’ is authorised as a feed additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 26 November 2021.
For the Commission
