1 SCIENTIFIC OPINION Scientific Opinion on the modification to the formulation of GalliPro and compatibility with formic acid 1 EFSA Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) 2,3 SUMMARY European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), Parma, Italy The additive GalliPro is a microbial feed additive based on Bacillus subtilis. The additive is currently authorised for use in feeds for chickens for fattening at the minimum dose of 8 x 10 8 and a maximum of 1.6 x 10 9 CFU/kg of complete feedingstuffs. The applicant is now seeking the modification of the existing authorisation to include a more concentrated formulation, guaranteeing a minimum concentration of Bacillus subtilis of 1.6 x CFU/g additive. This would be used to deliver the same dose as presently authorised. The applicant is also seeking the authorisation for the simultaneous use of the product with formic acid. B. subtilis is considered by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to be suitable for the Qualified Presumption of Safety (QPS) approach to safety assessment. In the course of previous assessments the strain was considered to satisfy the qualifications specified for the species, and so can be treated as meeting the requirements of the QPS approach. Consequently, no further assessment of safety for the target species, the consumer and the environment is required. The Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) concludes that the modification to the formulation of GalliPro proposed (minimum concentration of 1.6 x CFU /g of additive) is considered unlikely to introduce hazards not already considered as part of the first assessment. The compatibility of the active agent with formic acid up to 2600 mg/kg was demonstrated when the product strain B. subtilis was used in combination with a strain of B. licheniformis in an in vivo experiment with chickens for fattening. Since the dose of B. subtilis tested was equivalent to the minimum authorised dose, and as differential counts for the two Bacillus strains were provided, the compatibility with formic acid demonstrated in this experiment can be extrapolated to GalliPro.

3 BACKGROUND Regulation (EC) No 1831/ establishes the rules governing the Community authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition. In particular, Article 13(3) of that Regulation lays down that if the holder of an authorisation proposes changing the terms of the authorisation by submitting an application to the Commission, accompanied by the relevant data supporting the request for the change, the Authority shall transmit its opinion on the proposal to the Commission and the Member States. The European Commission received a request from the company Chr. Hansen A/S 5 for authorisation/ of GalliPro 6, Bacillus subtilis, when used as a feed additive for target species (category: zootechnical additive; functional group: gut flora stabiliser) under the conditions mentioned in Table 1. According to Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, the Commission forwarded the application to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) as an application under Article 13(3) (modification of the authorisation of a feed additive). EFSA received directly from the applicant the technical dossier in support of this application. 7 According to Article 8 of that Regulation, EFSA, after verifying the particulars and documents submitted by the applicant, shall undertake an assessment in order to determine whether the feed additive complies with the conditions laid down in Article 5. The particulars and documents in support of the application were considered valid by EFSA as of 6 December The additive 035 is a microbial feed additive based on Bacillus subtilis (DSM 17299). This product is permanently authorised for use in chickens for fattening (4b1821). EFSA has issued one opinion on the safety and efficacy of 035 for chickens for fattening (EFSA, 2006) and several other opinions on the compatibility of 035 with coccidiostats (EFSA, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010a). TERMS OF REFERENCE 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 animal(s), consumer, user and the environment and the efficacy of the product GalliPro, Bacillus subtilis, when used under the conditions described in Table OJ L 268, , p. 29.

5 ASSESSMENT 1. Introduction The additive GalliPro 8 is a microbial feed additive based on Bacillus subtilis (DSM ). The additive is currently authorised for use in feeds for chickens for fattening at the minimum dose of 8 x 10 8 and a maximum of 1.6 x 10 9 CFU/kg of complete feedingstuffs (see background). The applicant is now seeking: (i) the modification of the existing authorisation to include a more concentrated formulation, guaranteeing a minimum concentration of Bacillus subtilis (DSM 17299) of 1.6 x CFU/g additive. This would be used to deliver the same dose as presently authorised; (ii) authorisation for the simultaneous use with formic acid. B. subtilis is considered by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to be suitable for the Qualified Presumption of Safety (QPS) approach to safety assessment (EFSA, 2010). In the course of previous assessments the strain was considered to satisfy the qualifications specified for the species, and so can be treated as meeting the requirements of the QPS approach. Consequently, no further assessment of safety for the target species, the consumer and the environment is required. In the present opinion the FEEDAP Panel has considered only on the data specific to the compatibility of GalliPro with formic acid and the consequences of changing the formulation. 2. Characterisation of the product The new formulation of GalliPro differs from the authorised product only in the concentration of spores which substitutes for the carrier (whey permeate/lactose or calcium carbonate). Data on six production batches of the new formulation showed that the minimum specification of 1.6 x CFU/g of additive was exceeded in all cases. 10 The new formulation of the additive follows the same monitoring procedure for microbial and chemical contamination as previously. Data from six batches of the new formulation confirmed compliance. 10 The increased concentration of the active agent in the product, from 1.6 x 10 9 CFU/g to 1.6 x CFU/g, is considered unlikely to modify the conclusion on stability, homogeneity, dusting potential and particle size of the first assessment (EFSA, 2006). The modification of the formulation requested is also considered unlikely to introduce hazards for users of the product not already considered as part of the first assessment (EFSA, 2006) Evaluation of the analytical methods by the European Union Reference Laboratory (EURL) The EURL considered that the conclusions and recommendations reached in the previous assessment are valid and applicable for the current application. 3. Compatibility with formic acid The compatibility of the active agent with formic acid up to 2600 mg/kg was demonstrated when the product strain B. subtilis DSM was used in combination with B. licheniformis DSM 5749 in the 8 The Applicant markets the product also under the tradename This strain has been also deposited as DSM Technical dossier/section II/Annex 6 CoAs GalliPro 5

6 feed additive BioPlus 2B in an in vivo experiment with chickens for fattening (EFSA, 2011). Since the dose of B. subtilis tested was equivalent to the minimum authorised dose, and as differential counts for the two Bacillus strains were provided, the compatibility with formic acid found for BioPlus 2B can be extrapolated to GalliPro. CONCLUSIONS The FEEDAP Panel concludes that the modification to the formulation of GalliPro proposed (minimum concentration of 1.6 x CFU/g of additive) is considered unlikely to introduce hazards not already considered as part of the first assessment. The new formulation of GalliPro is compatible with formic acid up to 2600 mg/kg. DOCUMENTATION PROVIDED TO EFSA 1. GalliPro (Bacillus subtilis DSM 17299).
