Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/2183 of 29 October 2025 concerning the renewal of the authorisation of L-valine produced with Corynebacterium glutamicum KCCM 80058 as a feed additive for all animal species and repealing Implementing Regulation (EU) No 848/2014

• CELEX: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/2183
• 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 848/2014

Implementing Regulation (EU) No 848/2014 is repealed.

Article 3 Transitional measures

1.   The feed additive L-valine produced with Corynebacterium glutamicum KCCM 80058, as authorised by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 848/2014 and premixtures containing that additive, which are produced and labelled before 19 May 2026 in accordance with the rules applicable before 19 November 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 19 November 2026 in accordance with the rules applicable before 19 November 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 19 November 2027 in accordance with the rules applicable before 19 November 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.

Article 4 Entry into force

This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Analytical method

( 1 )

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

—

Food Chemical Codex ‘L-valine monograph’

For the determination of valine in the feed additive:

—

Ion-exchange chromatography coupled with post-column derivatisation and optical detection (IEC-VIS)

For the determination of valine in premixtures and compound feed:

—

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

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.

Feed business operators shall ensure that L-valine is rumen protected, when fed to ruminants.

3.

The moisture content shall be indicated on the label of the additive.

4.

The label of the additive and premixtures shall indicate the following: ‘The supplementation with L-valine shall take into account all essential and conditionally essential amino acids in order to avoid imbalances.’
