Chapter I: Compulsory and voluntary labelling of feed additives as referred to in Articles 15(f) and 22(1)
1.
The following additives shall be listed, along with their specific names and/or identification numbers, added amount and the name of the functional group as laid down in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 or the category referred to in Article 6(1) of that Regulation:
(a) additives where a maximum content is set for at least one non-food producing animal;
(b) additives belonging to the categories “zootechnical additives” and “coccidiostats and histomonostats”;
(c) additives for which the recommended maximum contents established in the legal act authorising the feed additive are exceeded.
The labelling particulars shall be indicated in accordance with the legal act authorising the feed additive in question.
The added amount referred to in the first paragraph shall be expressed as the amount of the feed additive except where the legal act authorising the respective feed additive indicates a substance in the column “minimum/maximum content”. In this latter case, the added amount shall be expressed as the amount of that substance.
2.
For feed additives of the functional group vitamins, pro-vitamins and chemically well-defined substances having similar effect which must be listed pursuant to point 1, the labelling may indicate the total amount guaranteed during the complete shelf-life under the heading “Analytical constituents” instead of indicating the added amount under the heading “Additives”.
3.
The name of the functional group as referred to in point 1, 5 and 7 may be replaced by the abbreviation in accordance with the table in point 3 of Annex VI, if such abbreviation is not established in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

In this case the information referred to in point 1 and 2 shall be disclosed by the person responsible for the labelling to the purchaser at his request.
6.
The person responsible for the labelling shall disclose the names, the identification number and the functional group of the feed additives not mentioned in point 1, 2 and 4 to the purchaser at his request. This provision shall not apply to flavouring compounds.

Feed additives not mentioned in point 1, 2 and 4 may be voluntarily indicated at least with their name or, in the case of flavouring compounds, at least with their functional group.
8.
The added amount of a sensory or nutritional feed additive shall be indicated in accordance with points 1 or 2, as applicable, if it is labelled on a voluntary basis.

If an additive belongs to more than one of the functional groups, the functional group or category appropriate to its principal function in the case of the feed in question shall be indicated.
