6. Description of content:  The application concerns the authorisation of manganese 
lysinate  sulphate as a feed additive for all animal species, to be classified in the additive 
category 'nutritional additives' and the functional group 'compounds of trace elements. 
The European Food Safety Authority ('the Authority') concluded in its opinion of 27 January 
2022 that, under the proposed conditions of use, manganese lysinate  sulphate doe s not 
have an adverse effect on animal health, consumer safety or the environment. The 
Authority further concluded that the handling of the substance poses a risk to users by 
inhalation and that it is irritant to eyes and skin and should be considered a de rmal 
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 substance is eff icacious in 
chickens for fattening; this conclusion can be extended to all other animal species. The 
assessment of manganese lysinate  sulphate shows that the conditions for authorisation, as 
provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are sa tisfied. Accordingly, the 
use of that substance should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
