Description
Summary:Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, the Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on l‐isoleucine produced by Corynebacterium glutamicum KCCM 80185 for all animal species. In 2021, the FEEDAP Panel issued an opinion on the safety and efficacy of the product. In that assessment, the FEEDAP Panel could not exclude the potential presence of recombinant DNA derived from the genetically modified production organism in the additive. The applicant provided supplementary data to exclude the presence of recombinant DNA derived from the production organism in the final product. Based on the data provided, the FEEDAP Panel concluded that no DNA of the production strain C. glutamicum KCCM 80185 was detected in the additive.
