Latest notice (G/SPS/N/EU/859/Add.1, 21 January 2026)
Withdrawal from the market of oct-2-enal, dec-2-enal, 2-hexenal, 3,5- octadiene-2-one, dec-2-enoic acid, phenethyl propionate, methyl decanoate, ethyl dec-2-enoate, ethyl dec-4-enoate, butylamine, 3-methylbutane-1-thiol, 2-methylfuran, 2-acetyl-5-methylfuran, 2-acetyl-3-methylpyrazine and picoline beta (3-methylpyridine) as feed additives for cats and dogs
The proposal notified in G/SPS/N/EU/859 (28 May 2025) is now adopted by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/95 of 15 January 2026 withdrawing from the market oct-2-enal, dec-2-enal, 2-hexenal, 3,5- octadiene-2-one, dec-2-enoic acid, phenethyl propionate, methyl decanoate, ethyl dec-2-enoate, ethyl dec-4-enoate, butylamine, 3-methylbutane-1-thiol, 2-methylfuran, 2-acetyl-5-methylfuran, 2-acetyl-3-methylpyrazine and picoline beta (3-methylpyridine) as feed additives for cats and dogs (Text with EEA relevance). This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
The substances covered by the Act were initially authorised as feed additives for cats and dogs, in the category of sensory additives and the functional group of flavouring compounds. Applications were later submitted for the reauthorisation of these substances in accordance with article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. However, the applicant has withdrawn those applications in the course of the risk assessment evaluation of their safety and efficacy. Consequently, the authorisation of these substances as feed additives must be withdrawn. The proposed Act includes transitional periods for the interested parties to adjust to the withdrawal of these substances.
