What the notification says

Latest notice (⁨G/SPS/N/EU/861/Add.1⁩, 26 January 2026)

Denial of the renewal of the authorization of a preparation containing a smoke flavouring extract-2b0001 as a feed additive for dogs and cats

The proposal notified in G/SPS/N/EU/861 (15 July 2025) is now adopted by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/89 of 14 January 2026 concerning the denial of the renewal of the authorization of a preparation containing a smoke flavouring extract-2b0001 as a feed additive for dogs and cats and repealing Implementing Regulation (EU) No. 1076/2014 (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 preparation covered by the Act was initially authorised by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1076/2014 for a 10-year period as a feed additive for cats and dogs, in the category of sensory additives and the functional group of flavouring compounds. An application was submitted for the renewal of the authorisation of this preparation in accordance with article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) conducted a scientific assessment of the dossier submitted by the applicant, showing that the preparation does not satisfy the conditions for the renewal of the authorisation provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. Consequently, the proposed Act denies the renewal of the authorisation and includes transitional periods for the interested parties to adjust to the denial of this preparation.
