What the notification says

Latest notice (⁨G/SPS/N/EU/921/Add.1⁩, 4 August 2026)

Amendment and correction of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1097 as regards the terms of the authorisation of lutein-rich and lutein/zeaxanthin extracts from Tagetes erecta as feed additives for poultry (except turkeys) for fattening and laying and for minor poultry species for fattening and laying and amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1928 as regards the terms of the authorisation of lutein-rich extract of Tagetes erecta L. for turkeys for fattening.

The proposal notified in G/SPS/N/EU/921 (24 February 2026) is now adopted by Commission Implementing Regulation(EU) 2026/1712 of 20 July 2026 amending and correcting Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1097 as regards the terms of the authorisation of lutein-rich and lutein/zeaxanthin extracts from Tagetes erecta as feed additives for poultry (except turkeys) for fattening and laying and for minor poultry species for fattening and laying and amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1928 as regards the terms of the authorisation of lutein-rich extract of Tagetes erecta L. for turkeys for fattening (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.

Lutein-rich and lutein/zeaxanthin extracts from Tagetes erecta were authorised for 10 years as feed additives for poultry (except turkeys) for fattening and laying and for minor poultry species for fattening and laying by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1097. In addition, a preparation of lutein-rich extract of Tagetes erecta L. was authorised for 10 years as a feed additive for turkeys for fattening by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1928. Some amendments and corrections to the two Implementing Regulations are considered necessary to align their provisions based on the substantial similarities in the manufacturing process and composition of the authorised additives: mention of the presence of hexane as solvent and limit thereof in the additives, more accurate description of the additives authorised as preparations, removal of the reference to xanthophylls and update of the method of analysis of lutein in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1097; and alignment of the identification number of the additive lutein-rich extract of Tagetes erecta in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1928.
