据欧盟官方公报消息,近日,欧盟委员会批准多种铜化合物作为饲料添加剂。
2018年7月23日,欧盟委员会发布法规(EU)2018/1039,批准多种铜化合物作为饲料添加剂,并修订法规(EC)No 1334/2003,( EC)No 479/2006和(EU)No 349/2010和实施细则(EU) No 269/2012, (EU) No 1230/2014 and (EU) 2016/2261,批准的铜化合物主要包括:二水合氯化铜(Copper(II) chloride dihydrate,),氧化铜(Copper(II) oxide,),五水硫酸铜(Copper(II) sulphate pentahydrate),液体甘氨酸铜螯合物(Copper(II) chelate of glycine hydrate (liquid)),蛋白水解铜螯合物(Copper(II) chelate of protein hydrolysates)等。
部分原文报道如下:
Due to scientific considerations, the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) recommended in its opinions of 14 November 2012 (5), 31 January 2013 (6) and 11 March 2015 (7) to replac 'Cupric' by 'Copper(II)‘ in order to avoid potential misunderstandings. The Authority also recommended splitting Copper(II) chelate of amino acids into the following two groups, in view of its chemical characteristics: Copper(II) chelate of amino acids hydrate and Copper(II) chelate of protein hydrolysates.
The Authority concluded that, under the proposed conditions of use, Copper(II) diacetate monohydrate, Copper(II) carbonate dihydroxy monohydrate, Copper(II) chloride dihydrate, Copper(II) oxide, Copper(II) sulphate pentahydrate, Copper(II) chelate of amino acids hydrate, Copper(II) chelate of protein hydrolysates, Copper(II) chelate of glycine hydrate (solid) and Copper(II) chelate of glycine hydrate (liquid) ('substances concerned’) do not have an adverse effect on animal health, consumer safety and the environment. Considering the capacities to be respiratory, eye and skin irritants, appropriate protective measures should be taken with respect to the handling of the additives concerned and premixtures containing them, in order to avoid that safety concerns for the users would arise.
