#32026R0348Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/348 authorising Lacticaseibacillus huelsenbergensis DSM 115424 as a silage additive for all animal species
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This regulation authorises the use of Lacticaseibacillus huelsenbergensis DSM 115424 as a technological additive in the functional group of silage additives for all animal species. The additive must contain a minimum of 4 × 10^11 CFU/g and is to be used at a minimum dose of 1 × 10^8 CFU per kg of fresh plant material. EFSA concluded it is safe for animals, consumers and the environment but identified it as a potential skin and respiratory sensitiser, requiring protective measures for users. The authorisation is valid until 10 March 2036. Specific provisions address storage conditions, cryoprotectants (including PEG 4000 up to 0.025 mg/kg silage), analytical methods, and mandatory use of personal protective equipment where risks cannot be eliminated by operational procedures.

Obligations
What this law requires
Feed business operators must ensure the additive preparation contains a minimum of 4 × 10^11 CFU/g
Apply the additive at a minimum dose of 1 × 10^8 CFU per kg of fresh plant material when used as a silage additive without combination with other micro-organisms
Indicate storage conditions in the directions for use of the additive and premixtures
If polyethylene glycol (PEG 4000) is used as a cryoprotectant, limit its concentration to a maximum of 0.025 mg/kg silage
Establish operational procedures and organisational measures to address potential skin and respiratory sensitisation risks from use of the additive
