AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This regulation authorises L-tryptophan produced with Escherichia coli CCTCC M 2024517 as a nutritional feed additive for all animal species in the EU. It can be used in feed and drinking water, subject to labelling, handling, and safety conditions. Feed businesses using the additive must protect it from rumen degradation when feeding ruminants, manage nutritional balance when adding it through drinking water, and apply worker safety measures where dust or endotoxin exposure risks remain. The authorisation runs until 28 May 2036.

Key Changes
- Authorises L-tryptophan produced with Escherichia coli CCTCC M 2024517 as a nutritional feed additive for all animal species.
- Allows the additive to be used in feed and drinking water, with required storage, stability, moisture, and nutritional balance labelling.
- Requires rumen protection for ruminants and worker protection measures where endotoxin or dust exposure risks cannot be otherwise controlled.
Obligations
What this law requires
Use L-tryptophan produced with Escherichia coli CCTCC M 2024517 as a feed additive only under the authorisation conditions in the Annex, including its classification as a nutritional additive in the functional group amino acids, their salts and analogues for all animal species.
Indicate storage conditions and stability to heat treatment and in drinking water in the directions for use of the additive and premixtures.
Ensure that L-tryptophan is rumen protected when it is fed to ruminants.
Indicate the moisture content on the label of the additive.
Label the additive and premixtures with the statement that supplementation with L-tryptophan, particularly through drinking water, must take into account all essential and conditionally essential amino acids to avoid nutritional imbalances.
