| Endpoint | Species | Route | Effect | Assessment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 safety and efficacy of citric acid as a preservative in feed and water for drinking for all animal species. Citric acid (anhydrous and monohydrate) is approved as a food additive for use as a preservative (quantum satis) in a wide range of commonly consumed foods and is authorised as a preservative in feed for all animal species without restrictions. |
| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | The present scientific opinion deals with the safety of trimagnesium dicitrate anhydrous (TMDC) when used as a stabiliser and anticaking agent in food supplements in solid and chewable forms. |
