Feed additives - revision of EU rules

Food safety

The Feed Additives Regulation was adopted in 2003 to ensure that only safe and efficacious feed additives can be placed on the EU market. The Regulation also banned the use of antimicrobials as growth promoters. The revision will address weaknesses in the implementation of the Regulation, and will also seek to facilitate the placing on the market of innovative feed additives that can help reduce the environmental impact of animal production, as committed to under the “Farm to Fork Strategy”.
