Division 8.3.1 Studies concerning the safety of use of the additive for the target animals

If the use level as for the feed additive is similar to that used in food, the safety for target species can be assessed based on the in vivo toxicological data available, a consideration of chemical structure and the metabolic capacity of the target species. If the use level in feed is considerably higher than the corresponding use in food, a tolerance study in the target animal may be required, depending on the nature of the substance.
