| (6) | Carminic acid, carmine (E 120) is added to brine rich in salt into which offal is immersed. In products as marketed, the salt content is at least 70 g per kg of meat so as to safeguard microbiological stability and a long shelf life (often 12 months). Before cooking, the products need to be desalted in water. Carminic acid, carmine (E120) stays mainly on the surface of the meat and its stability to temperature, light, pH and oxygen ensures characteristic appearance even after cooking. |

| (8) | On 18 November 2015, the European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) published a Scientific Opinion re-evaluating the safety of carminic acid, carmine (E 120) as a food additive (3). The Authority concluded that there was no reason to revise the acceptable daily intake value (ADI) of 2,5 mg carminic acid/kg bw/day and that the refined exposure estimates for the non-brand-loyal scenario are below the ADI for all population groups. Carminic acid, carmine (E120) is authorised for use in a wide variety of foods. The extended use is proposed for a few niche meat products and at a lower maximum level than the other currently authorised uses in food category 08.3.1 ‘Non-heat-treated meat products’ in Part E of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008. Since according to the Scientific Opinion meat products are not among the main contributors to the total exposure to carminic acid, carmine (E 120), it is not expected that the proposed use will have a significant impact on the overall exposure which therefore will remain below the ADI. |

| (7) | On 10 November 2017, the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) published a scientific opinion re-evaluating the safety of mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids (E 471) as food additives (3). The Authority concluded that there was no need for a numerical acceptable daily intake and that the food additive mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids (E 471) was of no safety concern at the reported uses and use levels. Such conclusion is used for substances of a very low safety concern and only if there is reliable information for both exposure and toxicity and there is a low probability of adverse health effects in humans at doses that do not induce nutritional imbalance in animals (4). However, the Authority recommended some modifications of the EU specifications for the food additive mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids (E 471). The Commission will address these recommendations separately following the general approach for the Authority's opinions in which some concerns have been identified (5). |

The treatment on fruits of which the peels are usually not consumed is not liable to have an effect on human health. It is therefore appropriate to allow the use of mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids (E 471) on certain fruits that are mainly imported from countries with a tropical/subtropical climate and of which peels are usually not consumed, i.e. citrus fruit, melons, pineapples, bananas, papayas, mangoes, avocados and pomegranates. |

(3)

In accordance with Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, applications were submitted for the renewal of the authorisation of the organic form of selenium produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-3060 and of selenomethionine produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCYC R397 as feed additives for all animal species, requesting those additives to be classified in the additive category ‘nutritional additives’. Those applications were accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

| (4) | The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinions of 5 July 2018 (4) and 28 November 2018 (5) that the applicants have provided data demonstrating that the additives comply with the conditions of authorisation under the proposed conditions of use. The Authority confirmed its previous conclusions that the organic form of selenium produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-3060 and the selenomethionine produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCYC R397 do not have adverse effects on animal health, consumer safety or the environment. It also stated for the organic form of selenium produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-3060 capacities to be a respiratory sensitizer and hazardous upon inhalation, and for selenomethionine produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCYC R397 capacities to be an eye and mucosae irritant, and a skin and respiratory sensitizer. 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. Finally, the Authority recommends changing the denomination of the additives. |

of 17 May 2019

concerning the authorisation of a preparation of muramidase produced by Trichoderma reesei DSM 32338 as a feed additive for chickens for fattening and minor poultry species for fattening (holder of authorisation DSM Nutritional Products Ltd, represented in EU by DSM Nutritional Products Sp. Z o.o)

(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 a preparation of muramidase produced by Trichoderma reesei DSM 32338. 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 a preparation of muramidase produced by Trichoderma reesei DSM 32338. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of that Regulation.

| (3) | That application concerns the authorisation of a preparation of muramidase produced by Trichoderma reesei DSM 32338 as a feed additive for chickens for fattening and minor poultry species for fattening, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

That application concerns the authorisation of a preparation of muramidase produced by Trichoderma reesei DSM 32338 as a feed additive for chickens for fattening and minor poultry species for fattening, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.

| (4) | The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 14 June 2018 (2) that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation of muramidase produced by Trichoderma reesei DSM 32338 does not have an adverse effect on animal health, consumer safety or the environment. It was also concluded that the additive may have a skin/eyes irritancy potential and skin sensitisation potential. 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 additive showed improvements of the feed to gain ratio in chickens for fattening. The Authority considered that this conclusion can be extrapolated to minor poultry species for fattening. 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. |
