Prováděcí nařízení Komise (EU) 2026/1018 ze dne 7. května 2026 o povolení přípravku z Saccharomyces cerevisiae NBRC 0203 a Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus NBRC 3425 jako doplňkové látky pro všechny druhy zvířat

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutritionOJ L 268, 18.10.2003, p. 29 , ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2003/1831/oj. , and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,

The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category technological additives and to the functional group silage additives, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition, subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.

OJ L 268, 18.10.2003, p. 29 , ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2003/1831/oj.

(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such an authorisation.

(2) In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of a preparation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae NBRC 0203 and Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus NBRC 3425. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

(3) The application concerns the authorisation of a preparation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae NBRC 0203 and Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus NBRC 3425 as a feed additive for all animal species, requesting that additive to be classified in the category technological additives and in the functional group silage additives.

(4) The European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) concluded in its opinion of 18 September 2025 EFSA Journal 2025;23(10):e9698. https://doi.org/10.2903/j.efsa.2025.9698. that the preparation consisting of Saccharomyces cerevisiae NBRC 0203 and Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus NBRC 3425 is safe for all animal species, consumers and the environment. Regarding user safety, the Authority concluded that the preparation should be considered a skin and respiratory sensitiser, and any exposure through the skin and respiratory tract is considered a risk. However, the Authority could not conclude on its eye irritation potential. Furthermore, the Authority concluded that the addition of the preparation at a minimum level of 4 × 102 CFU of Saccharomyces cerevisiae NBRC 0203 and 3,2 × 106 CFU of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus NBRC 3425/kg fresh plant material has the potential to improve the production of silage made from easy and moderately difficult to ensile fresh plant material. The Authority also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

(5) In view of the above, the Commission considers that the preparation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae NBRC 0203 and Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus NBRC 3425 satisfies the conditions provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised for all animal species. In addition, the Commission considers that appropriate protective measures should be taken to prevent adverse effects on the health of the users of the additive.

(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,

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