EU Corrects Riboflavin 5′-Phosphate Formula in Animal Feed Additives Regulation
The European Commission has issued Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/182, correcting the chemical formula of riboflavin 5′-phosphate monosodium salt in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/901. This feed additive is authorized for all animal species except aquatic animals.
The original formula C₁₇H₂₂N₄O₉PNa was incorrect and has been changed to C₁₇H₂₀N₄O₉PNa. This correction ensures the accurate characterization of the additive in regulatory documents.
Ensuring Compliance with International Standards
The correction aligns the regulation with the Codex Alimentarius standards for Good Animal Feeding (CAC/RCP 54-2004). While the correction does not affect the authorization of the additive, it clarifies the chemical composition and helps maintain consistency and accuracy in regulatory compliance.
