| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | Following a request from the European Commission, the Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the application for the authorisation of formic acid, ammonium formate and sodium formate when used as feed hygiene agents for all animal species. Formic acid, ammonium formate and sodium formate are currently authorised for use as preservatives in feed for all animal species. Formate is a natural constituent of ruminal and intestinal contents and manure. Since animals are exposed to formate, studies performed with formic acid or its salts are considered equivalent when these agents are used on an equimolar basis. The FEEDAP Panel is not aware of any new information that would lead to a revision and, therefore, it reiterates the previous conclusions of the opinion on formic acid and its safety for target species, consumers and the environment. No adverse effects are anticipated when formic acid and sodium formate are used at the maximum proposed dose in feed for pigs (12 000 mg formic acid equivalents/kg complete feed), poultry or ruminants (10 000 mg formic acid equivalents/kg complete feed). A margin of safety could not be identified. These conclusions are extrapolated to other animal species provided the maximum dose applied does not exceed 10 000 mg formic acid equivalents/kg complete feed. |
| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | According to Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, the Commission forwarded the application to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) as an application under Article 4(1) (authorisation of a feed additive or new use of a feed additive) and under Article 10(2) (re-evaluation of an authorised feed additive). EFSA received directly from the applicant the technical dossier in support of this application. According to Article 8 of that Regulation, EFSA, after verifying the particulars and documents submitted by the applicant, shall undertake an assessment in order to determine whether the feed additive complies with the conditions laid down in Article 5. The particulars and documents in support of the application were considered valid by EFSA as of 16 June 2011. |
| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | In accordance with Art 29 (1) of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002, the European Commission asks the European Food Safety Authority for a scientific opinion on the evaluation of the substances currently on the list in the annex to Commission Directive 1996/3/EC as acceptable previous cargoes for edible fats and oils. The evaluation should be based on the SCF criteria and the criteria proposed by the CCFO as reviewed by the Panel on Contaminants in Food Chain in 2009 for acceptable previous cargoes for edible fats and oils. |
