Risk and analytical results

hazardObserved
On the labelling of the products, we read a content of 0.85 mg/kg of selenium (3b802). According to the authorisation for this additive, the maximum permitted level for selenium is 0.50 mg/kg. In addition, multiple labelling deficiencies have been identified: the claim “GMO free” is not authorised, the claim "diet" is only authorised on feeds with a particular nutritional purpose (767/2009, article 18, a), but these feeds do not fall under an authorised particular nutritional purpose (2020/354), and the additives are not correctly declared.
