18112, Lactiplantibacillus plantarumDSM 18113, Lactiplantibacillus plantarumDSM 18114,
Lactiplantibacillus plantarumATCC 55943, Lactiplantibacillus plantarumATCC 55944,

(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 and renewing such authorisation.
(2) The preparations of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum DSM 18112, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum DSM 18113, Lactiplanti
bacillus plantarum DSM 18114, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum ATCC 55943, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum ATCC 55944
(previously taxonomically identified as Lactobacillus plantarum DSM 18112, Lactobacillus plantarum DSM 18113,
Lactobacillus plantarumDSM 18114, Lactobacillus plantarumATCC 55943, Lactobacillus plantarumATCC 55944) were
authorised for a period of 10 years as feed additives for all animal species by Commission Implementing Regulation
(EU) No 1065/2012(2).
(3) The preparations of Lentilactobacillus buchneri ATCC PTA-2494 (previously identified as Lactobacillus buchneri
LN 4637/ATCC PTA-2494) and Lentilactobacillus buchneri ATCC PTA-6138 (previously identified as Lactobacillus
buchneriLN 40177/ATCC PTA-6138) were authorised for a period of 10 years as feed additives for all animal species
by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1113/2013(3).
(4) In accordance with Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, seven applications were submitted for the
renewal of the authorisation of the preparations of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum DSM 18112, Lactiplantibacillus
plantarumDSM 18113, Lactiplantibacillus plantarumDSM 18114, Lactiplantibacillus plantarumATCC 55943, Lactiplan
tibacillus plantarumATCC 55944, Lentilactobacillus buchneriATCC PTA-2494 and Lentilactobacillus buchneriATCC PTA-
6138 as feed additives for all animal species, requesting the additives to be classified in the additive category
‘technological additives’ and in the functional group ‘silage additives’. Those applications were accompanied by the
particulars and documents required under Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(1) OJ L 268, 18.10.2003, p. 29, ELI: https://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2003/1831/oj.
(2) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1065/2012 of 13 November 2012 concerning the authorisation of preparations of
Lactobacillus plantarum(DSM 23375, CNCM I-3235, DSM 19457, DSM 16565, DSM 16568, LMG 21295, CNCM MA 18/5U, NCIMB
30094, VTT E-78076, ATCC PTSA-6139, DSM 18112, DSM 18113, DSM 18114, ATCC 55943 and ATCC 55944) as feed additives
for all animal species (OJ L 314, 14.11.2012, p. 15, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_impl/2012/1065/oj).
(3) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1113/2013 of 7 November 2013 concerning the authorisation of preparations of
Lactobacillus plantarum NCIMB 40027, Lactobacillus buchneri DSM 22501, Lactobacillus buchneri NCIMB 40788/CNCM I-4323,
Lactobacillus buchneriLN 40177/ATCC PTA-6138, and Lactobacillus buchneriLN 4637/ATCC PTA-2494 as feed additives for all animal
species (OJ L 298, 8.11.2013, p. 29,ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_impl/2013/1113/oj).
ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_impl/2026/1146/oj 1/11EN
OJ L, 29.5.2026
(5) The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinions of 15 April 2024(4)(5)and 17 April
2024(6)(7)(8)(9)(10) that the preparations of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum DSM 18112, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum
DSM 18113, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum DSM 18114, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum ATCC 55943, Lactiplantibacillus
plantarum ATCC 55944, Lentilactobacillus buchneri ATCC PTA-2494 and Lentilactobacillus buchneri ATCC PTA-6138
remain safe for all animal species, consumers and the environment, under the conditions of use currently authorised.
It also concluded that the additives should be considered as skin and respiratory sensitisers, and that any dermal and
respiratory exposure is considered a risk. In the absence of data, the Authority could not conclude on their eye
irritation potential. The Authority further concluded that there is no need for assessing the efficacy of the additives
as the applications for renewal of their authorisation do not include a proposal for amending or supplementing the
conditions of the original authorisation which would have an impact on the efficacy of the additives. Due to the
absence of data regarding the microbiological contamination and impurities, the Authority could not conclude on
the full characterisation of the preparations of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum DSM 18112, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum
DSM 18113, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum DSM 18114, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum ATCC 55943, Lactiplantibacillus
plantarum ATCC 55944, Lentilactobacillus buchneri ATCC PTA-2494 and Lentilactobacillus buchneri ATCC PTA-6138.
In the subsequent opinion of 24 June 2025(11) the Authority reported that the applicant provided new data and
concluded that the additives are characterised regarding the microbiological contamination (except for the Enterobac
teriaceae) and chemical purity, and no safety concerns were identified.
(6) The Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 considered that the conclusions and
recommendations reached in the assessment carried out regarding the method of analysis of the preparations of
Lactiplantibacillus plantarum DSM 18112, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum DSM 18113, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum DSM
18114, Lactiplantibacillus plantarumATCC 55943, Lactiplantibacillus plantarumATCC 55944, Lentilactobacillus buchneri
ATCC PTA-2494 and Lentilactobacillus buchneri ATCC PTA-6138 as feed additives in the context of the previous
authorisation are valid and applicable for the current application. In accordance with Article 5(4), point (c), of
Commission Regulation (EC) No 378/2005(12), an evaluation report of the Reference Laboratory is therefore not
required.
(7) In view of the above, the Commission considers that the preparations of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum DSM 18112,
Lactiplantibacillus plantarumDSM 18113, Lactiplantibacillus plantarumDSM 18114, Lactiplantibacillus plantarumATCC
55943, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum ATCC 55944, Lentilactobacillus buchneri ATCC PTA-2494 and Lentilactobacillus
buchneri ATCC PTA-6138 satisfy the conditions provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
Accordingly, the authorisation of those additives should be renewed. In addition, the Commission considers that
appropriate protective measures should be taken to prevent adverse effects on the health of the users of the
additives. Those protective measures should be without prejudice to other workers’ safety requirements under
Union law.
(8) As a consequence of the renewal of the authorisation of the preparations of Lactiplantibacillus plantarumDSM 18112,
Lactiplantibacillus plantarumDSM 18113, Lactiplantibacillus plantarumDSM 18114, Lactiplantibacillus plantarumATCC
55943, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum ATCC 55944, Lentilactobacillus buchneri ATCC PTA-2494 and Lentilactobacillus
buchneriATCC PTA-6138 as feed additives, Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1065/2012 should be amended and
Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1113/2013 should be repealed.

No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the duties and tasks of the Community Reference
Laboratory concerning applications for authorisations of feed additives (OJ L 59, 5.3.2005, p. 8, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/

2/11 ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_impl/2026/1146/ojEN
OJ L, 29.5.2026
(9) Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the modifications to the conditions of authorisation
of the preparations of Lactiplantibacillus plantarumDSM 18112, Lactiplantibacillus plantarumDSM 18113, Lactiplanti
bacillus plantarumDSM 18114, Lactiplantibacillus plantarumATCC 55943, Lactiplantibacillus plantarumATCC 55944,
Lentilactobacillus buchneriATCC PTA-2494 and Lentilactobacillus buchneriATCC PTA-6138, it is appropriate to provide
for a transitional period for interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the
renewal of the authorisation.

Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
