• CELEX: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/752
• Articles: 5

Article 1 Renewal of the authorisation

The authorisation of the substance specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘nutritional additives’ and to the functional group ‘amino acids, their salts and analogues’, is renewed subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.

Article 2 Repeal of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 101/2014

Implementing Regulation (EU) No 101/2014 is repealed.

Article 3 Transitional measures

1.   The feed additive L-tyrosine, as authorised by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 101/2014 and premixtures containing that additive, which are produced and labelled before 12 November 2025 in accordance with the rules applicable before 12 May 2025, may continue to be placed on the market and used until the stocks concerned are exhausted.

2.   Compound feed and feed materials containing the feed additive referred to in paragraph 1, which are produced and labelled before 12 May 2026 in accordance with the rules applicable before 12 May 2025, may continue to be placed on the market and used until the stocks concerned are exhausted if they are intended for food-producing animals.

3.   Compound feed and feed materials containing the feed additive referred to in paragraph 1, which are produced and labelled before 12 May 2027, in accordance with the rules applicable before 12 May 2025, may continue to be placed on the market and used until the stocks concerned are exhausted if they are intended for non-food producing animals.

Analytical method

( 1 )

For the identification of L-tyrosine in the feed additive:

—

Specific optical rotation, European Pharmacopoeia monograph 1161

For the determination of tyrosine in the feed additive:

—

Titrimetry, European Pharmacopoeia monograph 1161

For the determination of tyrosine in premixtures and compound feed:

—

Ion-exchange chromatography coupled with post-column derivatisation and optical detection (IEC-VIS), Commission Regulation (EC) No 152/2009  ( 2 )

All animal species

1.

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

2.

The instructions of use shall include a recommendation that the content of L-tyrosine does not exceed 5 g/kg complete feed with a moisture content of 12 % for food-producing animals and 15 g/kg complete feed with a moisture content of 12 % for non food-producing animals.

3.

For users of the additive and premixtures, feed business operators shall establish operational procedures and organisational measures to address potential risks resulting from their use. Where those risks cannot be eliminated by such procedures and measures, the additive and premixtures shall be used with personal skin and breathing protective equipment.
