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) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provid es for the author isation of additives for use in animal nutr ition and for the 
grounds and procedures for granting and renewing such author isation.
(2) Preparations of Lactiplantibacillus plantar um DSM 3676 (previously taxonomically identified as Lactobacillus plantar um 
DSM 3676), Lactiplantibacillus plantar um DSM 3677 (previously taxonomically identified as Lactobacillus plantar um 
DSM 3677) and Lentilactobacillus buchner i DSM 13573 (previously taxonomically identif ied as Lactobacillus buchner i 
DSM 13573) were author ised for a period of 10 years as feed additives for all animal species by Commission 
Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1119/2012 (2).
(3) In accordance with Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the renewal of 
the author isation of preparations of Lactiplantibacillus plantar um DSM 3676, Lactiplantibacillus plantar um DSM 3677 
and Lentilactobacillus buchner i DSM 13573 as feed additives for all animal species, requesting the additives to be 
classifie d in the additive categor y ‘technological additives’ and in the functional group ‘silag e additives’. That 
application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) 
No 1831/2003.
(4) The European Food Safety Author ity (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 5 July 2023 (3)that the 
preparations of Lactiplantibacillus plantar um DSM 3676, Lactiplantibacillus plantar um DSM 3677 and Lentilactobacillus 
buchner i DSM 13573 remain safe for all animal species, the consumers and the envi ronment under the conditions of 
use currently author ised. It also concluded that the additives are not irritant to skin or eyes and that they should be 
considered respirato ry sensitisers. No conclusions could be drawn on their skin sensitisation potential. The 
Authority indicate d that there is no need for assessing the efficacy of the additives as the application for renewal of 
the three author isations does not include a proposal for amending or supplementing the conditions of the original 
author isations that would have an impact on the efficacy of the additives.

Pediococcus acidilactici CNCM MA 18/5M DSM 11673, Pediococcus pentosaceus DSM 23376, NCIMB 12455 and NCIMB 30168, 
Lactobacillus plantar um DSM 3676 and DSM 3677 and Lactobacillus buchner i DSM 13573 as feed additives for all animal species

(3) EFSA Jour nal 2023;21(7):8162.(5) The Reference Laborator y set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 considered that the conclusions and 
recommendations reac hed in the assessment carried out regarding the method of analysis of the preparations of 
Lactiplantibacillus plantar um DSM 3676, Lactiplantibacillus plantar um DSM 3677 and Lentilactobacillus buchner i DSM 
13573 as feed additives in the cont ext of the previous author isation are valid and applicable for the current 
application. In accordance with Article 5(4), point (c) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 378/2005 (4), an 
evaluation repor t of the Reference Laboratory is theref ore not required.
(6) In view of the above, the Commission considers that the preparations of Lactiplantibacillus plantar um DSM 3676, 
Lactiplantibacillus plantar um DSM 3677 and Lentilactobacillus buchner i DSM 13573 satisfy the conditions, as provided 
for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. According ly, the author isation of those additives should be 
renewed. In addition, the Commission considers that appropr iate protective measures should be taken to prevent 
adverse effects on the health of the users of the additives. Those prote ctive measures should be without prejudice to 
other workers’ safety requirements under Union law.
(7) As a consequence of the renewal of the author isation of the preparations of Lactiplantibacillus plantar um DSM 3676, 
Lactiplantibacillus plantar um DSM 3677 and Lentilactobacillus buchner i DSM 13573 as feed additives, Implementing 
Regulation (EU) No 1119/2012 should be repealed.
(8) Since safet y reasons do not require the immediate application of the modifications to the conditions of author isation 
of preparations of Lactiplantibacillus plantar um DSM 3676, Lactiplantibacillus plantar um DSM 3677 and Lentilacto ­
bacillus buchner i DSM 13573, it is appropr iate to provi de for a transitional period for inter ested parties to prepare 
themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the renewal of the author isation.
