Commission Implementing Regulation  (EU) 2023/54 of 4 January 2023 correcting Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/652 concerning the authorisation of bitter orange extract as a feed additive for certain animal species

Product Image

Distribution date: 19 July 2023

The use of bitter orange extract as feed additive was authorised for certain animal species by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/652. Bitter orange extract is known to contain 10 to 20% neohesperidin, as detailed in the column "Composition, chemical formula, description, analytical method" in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/652. An incorrect presumption of a relationship between neohesperidin, identified with CAS number 13241-33-3, and neohesperidin dihydrochalcone, identified with CAS number 20702-77-6, which has a similar name but is a distinct substance, resulted in point 3 of the column "Other provisions" in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/652, which mistakenly provides for the exclusion of the use of bitter orange extract in combination with neohesperidin dihydrochalcone. Commission Implementing Regulation  (EU) 2023/54 corrects this mistake.
