(b)

the entry 1a262 on sodium diacetate, the text under the headings ‘Additive composition’ and ‘Characterisation of the active substance’ is replaced by the following:

‘

Additive composition

Sodium diacetate ≥ 97 %

Solid form

Characterisation of the active substance

CAS no 126-96-5

Sodium acetate ≥ 58 %

Acetic acid ≥ 39 %

Water ≤ 2 %

Formic acid and its salts and other oxidisable material ≤ 1g/kg

Produced by chemical synthesis’;

(2)

in the fourth column ‘Species or category of animal’, in the entries 1a260 on acetic acid, 1a262 on sodium diacetate and 1a263 on calcium acetate, the category of animals ‘Poultry, pigs, pets’ is replaced by ‘All animal species other than fish and ruminants’ and the category of animals ‘All other animals species other than fish’ by ‘Ruminants’;

(3)

in the sixth column ‘Minimum content/Maximum content’, in the entry 1a270 on lactic acid, the title ‘mg/kg of complete feedingstuff with a moisture content of 12 %’ is replaced by ‘mg active substance/kg of complete feedingstuff with a moisture content of 12 %’.

Article 2 Transitional measures

1.   The additives acetic acid (identified as 1a260), sodium diacetate (identified as 1a262) and calcium acetate (identified as 1a263) and premixtures containing them, which are produced and labelled before 23 August 2025 in accordance with the rules applicable before 23 February 2025, may continue to be placed on the market and used until the existing stocks are exhausted.

2.   Compound feed and feed materials containing the additives or premixtures referred to in paragraph 1, which are produced and labelled before 23 February 2026 in accordance with the rules applicable before 23 February 2025, may continue to be placed on the market and used until the existing stocks are exhausted if they are intended for food-producing animals.

3.   Compound feed and feed materials containing the additives or premixtures referred to in paragraph 1, which are produced and labelled before 23 February 2027 in accordance with the rules applicable before 23 February 2025, may continue to be placed on the market and used until the existing stocks are exhausted if they are intended for non-food producing animals.
