Description of content: Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting or modifying such authorisation. The use of Lactococcus lactis NCIMB 30160 as a feed additive was authorised for all animal species by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1263/2011 (2). In accordance with Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, the Commission requested the European Food Safety Authority ('the Authority') to issue an opinion on whether the authorisation of Lactococcus lactis (NCIMB 30160) as a feed additive would still meet the conditions laid down in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, considering a modification of the terms of that authorisation. The modification relates to the formulation of the additive, consisting of the inclusion of polyethylene glycol (PEG 4000) in the list of cryoprotectants that can be used for the manufacture of the additive. The request was accompanied by the relevant supporting data. |
