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 premixtures, the storage conditions and 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 alone or in combination with other authorised disodium 5′-ribonucleotides: 50 mg/kg of complete feedingstuff with a moisture content of 12 %’.

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 premixture where the use level on the label of the premixture would result in exceeding the level referred to in point 3.
