11 feed additives authorised for use in Scotland

The Minister for Public Health, Women’s Health and Sport in Scotland has decided to authorise applications for the renewal, modification and use of 11 feed additives in Scotland. The Feed Additives (Authorisations) (Scotland) Regulations 2022 (SSI No 288) came into force on 24 November 2022. Equivalent regulations came into force in England and Wales on 25 November 2022. The relevant feed additives can therefore be placed on the market and used for the purposes stated in the authorisations in Great Britain.

The register of feed additives shows the feed additives permitted for use in Great Britain.

EU law that applies to Northern Ireland after the transition period is specified in Annex II to the Northern Ireland Protocol. This means that any business seeking a new authorisation for a regulated feed product placed on the Northern Ireland market will have to continue to follow EU rules.
