2.

In the directions for use of the additive and premixtures, the storage conditions and stability to heat treatment shall be indicated.

3.

Mixture of residual fraction of expressed lemon oil distilled with other botanical additives is permitted provided that the amounts of perillaldehyde, furocoumarins, and methoxycoumarins in feed materials and compound feed are lower than the one resulting from the use of a single additive at the maximum or recommended level for the species or animal category.

4.

For users of the additive and premixtures, feed business operators shall establish operational procedures and organisational measures to address potential risks by inhalation, dermal contact or eyes contact. Where those risks cannot be eliminated by such procedures and measures, the additive and premixtures shall be used with personal skin, eye and breathing protective equipment.
