That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.(3)That application concerns the authorisation of a preparation of fumonisin esterase produced by Komagataella pastoris (DSM 26643)as a feed additive for pigs, to be classified in the additive category "technological additives".(4)The European Food Safety Authority ("the Authority") in its opinion of 8 April 2014EFSA Journal 2014; 12(5):3667. concluded that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation of fumonisin esterase produced by Komagataella pastoris (DSM 26643) does not have adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment. It also concluded that it has the capacity to biotransform fumonisins to less toxic compounds in contaminated feed for pigs.
