6. Description of content:  In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, 
an application was submitted for the authori zation of a preparation of Lactiplantibacillus 
plantarum  DSM 26571. That application was accompanied by the particulars  and 
documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. The application 
concerns the authori zation of the preparation of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum  DSM 26571 
as a feed additive for all animal species, to be classified in the additive category 
'technological additives '. The European Food Safety Authority ('the Authority') concl uded in 
its opinion of 29 September 2021 that, under the proposed conditions of use, the 
preparation of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum  DSM 26571 does not have an adverse effect on 
animal health, consumer safety or the environment. It also concluded that the  additive 
should be considered a respiratory 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 preparation concerned has the potential to improve the preservation of nutrients in 
silage prepared with easy, moderately difficult and difficult to ensile material. It also 
verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additives in feed submitted by the 
Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. The assessment of the 
preparation of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum  DSM 26571 shows that the conditions for 
authori zation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regula tion (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. 
Accordingly, the use of the preparation should be authori zed as specified in the Annex to 
this Regulation.
