The application concerns the authorisation of L-isoleucine produced by Escherichia coli (FERM ABP- 10641) as a feed additive for all animal species, to be classified in the additive category ‘nutritional additives’.
The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 9 December 2009 ( 2 ) that L-isoleucine does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment, and that this preparation can be considered a source of available isoleucine for all animal species. The Authority recommends appropriate measures for user safety. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring.
