of 16 February 2012
concerning the authorisation of sodium bisulphate as feed additive for pets and other non-food producing animals
(Text with EEA relevance)
Article 1
The preparation specified in Annex I, belonging to the additive category ‘technological additives’ and to the functional group ‘acidity regulator’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition, subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
Article 2
The preparation specified in Annex II, belonging to the additive category ‘sensory additives’ and to the functional group ‘flavouring compounds’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition, subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
Article 3
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following 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.
