acid produced by Aspergillus niger DSM 25794 or CGMCC 4513/CGMCC 5751 or 
CICC 40347/CGMCC 5343, sorbic acid and pota ssium sorbate, acetic acid, sodium diacetate and 
calcium acet ate, propionic acid, sodium propionate, calcium propionate and ammonium propionate, 
formic acid, sodium formate, calcium formate and ammonium formate, and lactic acid produced by 
Bacillus coagulans (LMG S-26145 or DSM 23965), or Bacillus smithii (LMG S-27890) or Bacillus

THE EUR OPEAN COMMISSION,
Havi ng regar d to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Havi ng rega rd to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 Sept ember 2003 on 
additives for use in animal nutr ition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The use of acetic acid, of sodium diacetat e, of calcium acetat e and of ammonium formate as feed additives was 
author ised for a 10-y ear period by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/415 (2)only for certain animal 
species, while the title of that Implementing Regulation erroneously refers to an author isation for all animal species.
(2) The use of lactic acid and of calcium lactate as feed additives was author ised for a 10-y ear period also by 
Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/415.
(3) In the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/415 regar ding the additives lactic acid (identified as ‘1a270’) 
and calcium lactate (identifi ed as ‘1a327’), in the column ‘Species or catego ry of animal’ , the categor y ‘ruminants 
with a non-functional rumen’ is covered by the scope of ‘All animal species other than pigs and ruminants with a 
functional rumen’, while, according to the opinion of the European Food Safety Author ity of 12 November 
2019 (3), a safe dose for pre-r uminants could not be established. The additives lactic acid and calcium lactate should 
theref ore not have been author ised for use for ruminants with a non-functional rumen.
(4) In the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/415 regarding the additive calcium acetate (identified as 
‘1a263’), an entr y relat ed to iron was wrong ly added in the column ‘Composition, chemical formula, descr iption, 
analytical method’ under the heading ‘Characteri sation of the active substance ’.
(5) Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/415 should theref ore be corrected according ly.
(6) The measures provid ed for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committ ee on 
Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
(1)OJ L 268, 18.10.2003, p. 29.
(2)Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/415 of 11 March 2022 concer ning the author isation of malic acid, citric acid 
produced by Aspergillus niger DSM 25794 or CGMCC 4513/CGMCC 5751 or CICC 40347/CGMCC 5343, sorbic acid and potassium 
sorbat e, acetic acid, sodium diacetate and calcium acetate, propionic acid, sodium propionate, calcium propionate and ammonium 
propionat e, formic acid, sodium format e, calcium formate and ammonium formate, and lactic acid produced by Bacillus coagulans 
(LMG S-26145 or DSM 23965), or Bacillus smithii (LMG S-27890) or Bacillus subtilis (LMG S-27889) and calcium lactate as feed 
additives for all animal species (OJ L 85, 14.3.2022, p. 6).

(1) the title is replaced by the following:

citric acid produced by Aspergillus niger DSM 25794 or CGMCC 4513/CGMCC 5751 or CICC 40347/CGMCC 5343,
