The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 19 March 2020 (2) that, under the proposed conditions of use, L-lysine monohydrochloride produced by Corynebacterium glutamicum DSM 32932 does not have an adverse effect on animal health, consumer safety or the environment. The Authority stated a risk for the users as it should be considered as an eye irritant. 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. In its opinion of 1 July 2020 (3), the Authority concluded that, under the proposed conditions of use, L-lysine sulphate produced by Corynebacterium glutamicum KFCC 11043 does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment. The Authority also concluded that both additives are efficacious sources of the amino acid L-lysine for all animal species and that in order to be as efficacious in ruminants as in non-ruminant species, the additives should be protected against degradation in the rumen. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the reports on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
