SAFETY ASSESSMENT AND TOXICOLOGY SUPPORT SERVICES
The European legislation on animal feed provides a framework for ensuring that feed does not present any danger to human or animal health or to the environment. It includes rules on the circulation and use of feed materials, requirements for feed hygiene, rules on undesirable substances in animal feed, legislation on genetically modified food and feed, and conditions for the use of additives in animal nutrition.
Regulation (EC) No. 1831/2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition sets out detailed rules for the approval of feed additives. The directive outlines the requirement for an application to be submitted to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), for review and approval, before feeds can be successfully marketed.
Cantox has the "in-house" expertise and experience to help feed additive companies:
-
Interpret the existing regulatory status of their products
- Retrieve and evaluate existing, published and unpublished nutritional, efficacy and toxicological studies, and determine the feasibility of a successful application to EFSA
- Identify, design, source and steward studies
- Prepare EFSA submissions and steward such submissions to conclusion
Cantox will help ensure submissions are supported by sound scientific data likely to meet the approval of EFSA.
