| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | In 2015, the EFSA Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) issued an opinion on the safety and efficacy of formic acid, ammonium formate and sodium formate as feed hygiene agents for all animal species. In this opinion, two forms of the additive sodium formate, a solid form (specified to contain >= 98% sodium formate (w/w)) and a liquid form (specified to contain a minimum of 15% sodium formate, a maximum of 75% free formic acid and a maximum of 25% water), were assessed. |
| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | According to Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, EFSA shall determine whether the feed additive complies with the conditions laid down in Article 5. EFSA shall deliver an opinion on the safety for the target animals, consumer, user and the environment and the efficacy of ammonium formate, calcium formate and sodium formate, when used under the conditions described. |
| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | Following a request from the European Commission, the Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the application for the authorisation of formic acid, ammonium formate and sodium formate when used as feed hygiene agents for all animal species. Formic acid, ammonium formate and sodium formate are currently authorised for use as preservatives in feed for all animal species. Formate is a natural constituent of ruminal and intestinal contents and manure. Since animals are exposed to formate, studies performed with formic acid or its salts are considered equivalent when these agents are used on an equimolar basis. The FEEDAP Panel is not aware of any new information that would lead to a revision and, therefore, it reiterates the previous conclusions of the opinion on formic acid and its safety for target species, consumers and the environment. No adverse effects are anticipated when formic acid and sodium formate are used at the maximum proposed dose in feed for pigs (12 000 mg formic acid equivalents/kg complete feed), poultry or ruminants (10 000 mg formic acid equivalents/kg complete feed). A margin of safety could not be identified. These conclusions are extrapolated to other animal species provided the maximum dose applied does not exceed 10 000 mg formic acid equivalents/kg complete feed. |
