#32026R1117EU authorises L-isoleucine feed 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 L-isoleucine produced with Escherichia coli CCTCC M 20231916 as a nutritional feed additive for all animal species. It allows the additive to be used in animal feed as a source of the amino acid L-isoleucine, subject to the conditions set in the authorisation. Feed manufacturers, livestock producers, and importers using this additive need to follow the approved use conditions, especially around correct supplementation levels. The EU assessment found the additive safe for animals, consumers, and the environment when used properly in feed, but raised concerns about use in drinking water and identified inhalation risks for workers handling the product.

Obligations
What this law requires
Use L-isoleucine produced with Escherichia coli CCTCC M 20231916 only as an authorised nutritional feed additive for all animal species and only under the conditions set out in the authorisation.
Supplement animal diets with this L-isoleucine additive only in appropriate amounts according to the target animals’ nutritional needs, to avoid nutritional imbalance.
Do not use this L-isoleucine additive in water for drinking, due to nutritional imbalance and hygiene concerns identified for that route of use.
Manage worker exposure when handling the additive, in particular inhalation exposure to endotoxins, through appropriate handling procedures and protective measures.
Indicate the storage conditions and the stability to heat treatment and in water for drinking in the directions for use of the additive and premixtures.
