THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 1997 concerning novel foods and novel food ingredients (1), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Commission Implementing Decision 2012/725/EU (2) authorises the placing on the market of bovine lactoferrin as a novel food ingredient. |
|
(2) |
Annex I to Implementing Decision 2012/725/EU lays down the specifications for bovine lactoferrin. Those specifications contain a definition of bovine lactoferrin. This definition should be amended to better describe the authorised novel food ingredient. |
|
(3) |
Implementing Decision 2012/725/EU should therefore be amended accordingly. |
|
(4) |
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
In Annex I to Implementing Decision 2012/725/EU, the definition of bovine lactoferrin is replaced by the following:
|
|
‘Bovine lactoferrin (bLF) is a protein that occurs naturally in cow's milk. It is an iron-binding glycoprotein of approximately 77 kDa and consists of a single polypeptide chain of 689 amino acids. bLF is isolated from skimmed milk or cheese whey via ion exchange and subsequent ultra-filtration steps. Finally it is dried by freeze drying or spraying and the large particles are sieved out.’ |
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to Morinaga Milk Industry Co., Ltd, 33-1, Shiba 3-chome, Minato-ku, Tokyo 108-8384, Japan.
Done at Brussels, 7 April 2015.
