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.
(2) In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of sodium bisulphate. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) The application concerns the authorisation of sodium bisulphate as a feed additive for pets and other non-food producing animals, to be classified in the additive categories ‘technological additives’ and ‘sensory additives’.
(4) The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 13 October 2011 (2) that, under the proposed conditions of use, sodium bisulphate does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment, and that its use is considered efficacious as acidity regulator in feed for pets and other non food-producing animals, and as flavouring substance in feed for pets. 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.
(5) The assessment of sodium bisulphate shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of this preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annexes to this Regulation.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The preparation specified in Annex I, belonging to the additive category ‘technological additives’ and to the functional group ‘acidity regulator’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition, subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
The preparation specified in Annex II, belonging to the additive category ‘sensory additives’ and to the functional group ‘flavouring compounds’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition, subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
