COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2020/162

of 5 February 2020

concerning the authorisation of the preparation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I‐1079 as a feed additive for turkeys for fattening (holder of authorisation Danstar Ferment AG represented by Lallemand SAS)

(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. |
| --- | --- |

(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.

| (2) | In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of the preparation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I‐1079. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of that Regulation. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of the preparation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I‐1079. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of that Regulation.

| (3) | That application concerns the authorisation of the preparation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-1079 as a feed additive for turkeys for fattening, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

That application concerns the authorisation of the preparation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-1079 as a feed additive for turkeys for fattening, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.

| (4) | The preparation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-1079 was already authorised as a feed additive by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1905 (2) for chickens for fattening and for minor poultry species for fattening and by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/347 (3) for piglets and sows. |
| --- | --- |

(4)

The preparation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-1079 was already authorised as a feed additive by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1905 (2) for chickens for fattening and for minor poultry species for fattening and by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/347 (3) for piglets and sows.

| (5) | The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 2 April 2019 (4) that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-1079 does not have an adverse effect on animal health, consumer safety or the environment, and when used in feed for turkeys, it is efficacious in reducing carcass contamination with Salmonella spp. It also concluded that the not-coated form of 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 does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. |
