COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2019/1977

of 26 November 2019

concerning the authorisation of phenylmethanethiol, benzyl methyl sulfide, sec-pentylthiophene, tridec-2-enal, 12-methyltridecanal, 2,5-dimethylphenol, hexa-2(trans),4(trans)-dienal and 2-ethyl-4-hydroxy-5-methyl-3(2H)-furanone as feed additives for cats and dogs

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation. Article 10 of that Regulation provides for the re-evaluation of additives authorised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2). |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation. Article 10 of that Regulation provides for the re-evaluation of additives authorised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2).

| (2) | Phenylmethanethiol, benzyl methyl sulfide, sec-pentylthiophene, tridec-2-enal, 12-methyltridecanal, 2,5-dimethylphenol, hexa-2(trans),4(trans)-dienal and 2-ethyl-4-hydroxy-5-methyl-3(2H)-furanone (‘the substances concerned’) were authorised as feed additives for cats and dogs without a time limit in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC. Those feed additives were subsequently entered in the Register of feed additives as existing products, in accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Phenylmethanethiol, benzyl methyl sulfide, sec-pentylthiophene, tridec-2-enal, 12-methyltridecanal, 2,5-dimethylphenol, hexa-2(trans),4(trans)-dienal and 2-ethyl-4-hydroxy-5-methyl-3(2H)-furanone (‘the substances concerned’) were authorised as feed additives for cats and dogs without a time limit in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC. Those feed additives were subsequently entered in the Register of feed additives as existing products, in accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

| (3) | In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 thereof, an application was submitted for the re-evaluation of the substances concerned for cats and dogs, requesting those feed additives to be classified in the additive category ‛sensory additives’. The application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 thereof, an application was submitted for the re-evaluation of the substances concerned for cats and dogs, requesting those feed additives to be classified in the additive category ‛sensory additives’. The application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

| (4) | The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 27 February 2019 (3) that, under the proposed conditions of use, the substances concerned do not have adverse effects on animal health or the environment. It also concluded that hazards for users have been identified. The applicant as required produced a safety data sheet for each compound where hazards for users have been identified. No studies to assess the safety for the user were submitted. Therefore, the EFSA cannot conclude on the safety for the users when handling the additives. The hazards described in the safety data sheet are, in particular, hazards for skin and eye contact were recognised for 2,5-dimethylphenol, 12-methyltridecanal, hexa-2(trans),4(trans)-dienal, phenylmethanethiol, benzyl methyl sulfide, 2-ethyl-4-hydroxy-5-methyl-3(2H)-furanone and sec-pentylthiophene. Hazard for respiratory exposure was recognised for 12-methyltridecanal, benzyl methyl sulfide and 2-pentylthiophene. In the absence of data, the Authority could not conclude on the risk for the users. Therefore, the Commission considers that appropriate protective measures should be taken to prevent effects on human health, in particular as regards the users of the feed additive. For non-food-producing animals Commission Regulation (EC) No 429/2008 (4), exempted additives intended for those animals from the environmental assessment as they do not have a significant environmental effect. Pets are not raised in large groups of animals so their effect on the environment is considered not significant. The Authority further concluded that since the substances concerned are used in food as flavourings and their function in feed is the same as that in food, no further demonstration of efficacy in feed is necessary. |
