AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This regulation renews the 10-year authorisation of the bacterial strain DSM 11798 (Eggerthellaceae family, formerly Coriobacteriaceae) as a technological feed additive in the functional group of substances reducing mycotoxin contamination (specifically trichothecenes). It authorises use in pigs, poultry, and ornamental birds at a minimum content of 1.7 × 10^8 CFU/kg of complete feed. The additive must contain at least 5 × 10^9 CFU/g. EFSA confirmed safety for target animals, consumers, and the environment, but identified it as a potential skin and respiratory sensitiser requiring protective equipment. The previous regulations (EU) No 1016/2013 and (EU) 2017/930 are repealed. The authorisation expires on 5 April 2036.
