COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2019/1977
of 26 November 2019
concerning the authorisation of phenylmethanethiol, benzyl methyl sulfide, sec-pentylthiophene,
tridec-2-enal, 12-methyltridecanal, 2,5-dimethylphenol, hexa-2(trans),4(trans)-dienal and 2-ethyl-4-
hydroxy-5-methyl-3(2H)-furanone as feed additives for cats and dogs
(Text with EEA relevance)
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 nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(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 authorisation. Article 10 of that Regulation provides for the re-
evaluation of additives authorised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2).
(2) Phenylmethanethiol, benzyl methyl sulfide, sec-pentylthiophene, tridec-2-enal, 12-methyltridecanal, 2,5-
dimethylphenol, hexa-2(trans),4(trans)-dienal and 2-ethyl-4-hydroxy-5-methyl-3(2H)-furanone (‘the substances
concerned’) were authorised as feed additives for cats and dogs without a time limit in accordance with Directive
70/524/EEC. Those feed additives were subsequently entered in the Register of feed additives as existing products, in
accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 thereof, an
application was submitted for the re-evaluation of the substances concerned for cats and dogs, requesting those feed
additives to be classified in the additive category ‛sensory additives’. The application was accompanied by the
particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(4) The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 27 February 2019 (3) that, under
the proposed conditions of use, the substances concerned do not have adverse effects on animal health or the
environment. It also concluded that hazards for users have been identified. The applicant as required produced a
safety data sheet for each compound where hazards for users have been identified. No studies to assess the safety for
the user were submitted. Therefore, the EFSA cannot conclude on the safety for the users when handling the
additives. The hazards described in the safety data sheet are, in particular, hazards for skin and eye contact were
recognised for 2,5-dimethylphenol, 12-methyltridecanal, hexa-2(trans),4(trans)-dienal, phenylmethanethiol, benzyl
methyl sulfide, 2-ethyl-4-hydroxy-5-methyl-3(2H)-furanone and sec-pentylthiophene. Hazard for respiratory
exposure was recognised for 12-methyltridecanal, benzyl methyl sulfide and 2-pentylthiophene. In the absence of
data, the Authority could not conclude on the risk for the users. Therefore, the Commission considers that
appropriate protective measures should be taken to prevent effects on human health, in particular as regards the
users of the feed additive. For non-food-producing animals Commission Regulation (EC) No 429/2008 (4),
exempted additives intended for those animals from the environmental assessment as they do not have a significant
environmental effect. Pets are not raised in large groups of animals so their effect on the environment is considered
not significant. The Authority further concluded that since the substances concerned are used in food as flavourings
and their function in feed is the same as that in food, no further demonstration of efficacy in feed is necessary.

(4) Regulation (EC) No 429/2008 of 25 April 2008 on detailed rules for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the
European Parliament and of the Council as regards the preparation and the presentation of applications and the assessment and the
authorisation of feed additives (OJ L 133, 22.5.2008, p. 1).L 308/46 E N O f f i c i a l J o u r n a l o f t h e E u r o p e an Union 29.11.2019
(5) The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also
verified the reports on the method of analysis in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation
(EC) No 1831/2003.
(6) Restrictions and conditions should be provided for to allow for a better control. For the substances concerned
recommended contents should be indicated on the label of the additive. Where such contents are exceeded, certain
information should be indicated on the label of premixtures. and in the labelling compound feeds and feed materials.
(7) The assessment of the substances concerned shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5
of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied for the use in feed. Accordingly, the use of those feed additives
should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(8) Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the modifications to the conditions of authorisation
for the substances concerned, it is appropriate to allow a transitional period for interested parties to prepare
themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the authorisation.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on
Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
