The substance specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘sensory additives’ and to the functional group ‘flavouring compounds’, is authorised as a feed additive in animal nutrition, subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union .
ANNEX Identification number of the additive Name of the holder of authorisation Additive Composition, chemical formula, description, analytical method Species or category of animal Maximum age Minimum content Maximum content Other provisions End of period of authorisation mg of active substance/kg of complete feedingstuff with a moisture content of 12 % Category: Sensory additives. Functional group: Flavouring compounds 2b621i - Monosodium glutamate Additive composition: Monosodium glutamate Characterisation of the active substance: Monosodium L-glutamate Produced by fermentation with Corynebacterium glutamicum KCCM 80188 Purity: ≥ 99 % assay Chemical formula: C 5 H 8 NaNO 4 •H 2 O CAS number 6106-04-3 Method of analysis ( 1 ) : For the identification of monosodium L-glutamate in the feed additive: Food Chemical Codex ‘Monosodium L-glutamate monograph’. For the quantification of monosodium L-glutamate in the feed additive: ion-exchange chromatography coupled with post-column derivatisation and photometric detection (IEC-VIS), as described in Commission Regulation (EC) No 152/2009 (Annex III, F) ( 2 ) . For the quantification of monosodium L-glutamate in premixtures: ion-exchange chromatography coupled with post-column derivatisation and photometric detection (IEC-VIS), Commission Regulation (EC) No 152/2009 (Annex III, F). All animal species - - - 1. The additive shall be incorporated into the feed in the form of a premixture. 2. In the directions for use of the additive and premixture, the storage conditions and the stability to heat treatment shall be indicated. 3. On the label of the additive the following shall be indicated: ‘Recommended maximum content of the active substance of complete feedingstuff with a moisture content of 12 %: 25 mg/kg’. 4. The functional group, the identification number, the name and the added amount of the active substance shall be indicated on the label of the premixtures, if the following content of the active substance in complete feedingstuff with a moisture content of 12 % is exceeded: 25 mg/kg. 21.12.2030 ( 1 ) Details of the analytical methods are available at the following address of the Reference Laboratory: https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/en/eurl/feed-additives/evaluation-reports ( 2 ) Commission Regulation (EC) No 152/2009 of 27 January 2009 laying down the methods of sampling and analysis for the official control of feed ( OJ L 54, 26.2.2009, p. 1 ).
