SCHEDULE 4 — Contents of the statutory statement or other declaration (except for additives and premixtures not contained in feeding stuffs)

Part I

1
  • (1) In the case of any feeding stuff, the name or trade name and address or registered office of the person responsible for the accuracy of the particulars referred to in this Schedule shall be contained in the statutory statement.
  • (2) The following particulars may be contained in the statutory statement—
  • (a) the identification mark or trade mark of the person responsible for the particulars referred to in this Schedule;
  • (b) the description or trade name of the material;
  • (c) the price of the material; and
  • (d) the country of origin or manufacture of the material.
2

Where any person sells, or otherwise puts into circulation, any feeding stuff to which there has been added in the course of manufacture or preparation for putting into circulation, an authorised additive of any of the kinds specified below (other than as an authorised intermediate product or an authorised medicated premix) and which is not excluded from application of the Additives Directive by Article 22 of that Directive, the following particulars shall be contained in the statutory statement—

  • (a) for antioxidants, colourants or preservatives—
  • (i) if the feeding stuff is a compound feeding stuff other than a pet food, the name of the additive;
  • (ii) if the feeding stuff is a pet food and it is not covered by paragraph (iii), the words “with antioxidant”, “coloured with” or “colourant”, or “preservative” or “preserved with”, as appropriate, followed by the name of the additive; and
  • (iii) if the feeding stuff is a pet food, it is put up in a package having a net weight not exceeding 10 kilograms, its statutory statement contains a reference number by means of which the feeding stuff concerned may be identified, and its manufacturer supplies, on request, details of the name of the additive concerned,—
  • (aa) the particulars specified in paragraph (ii), or
  • (bb) the words “with antioxidant”, “coloured with” or “preserved with”, as appropriate, followed by (or by an appropriate extract from) the words “contains EEC permitted antioxidant(s) and colourant(s) and preservatives”;
  • (b) for vitamin A, D or E, the name of the vitamin, and the active substance level (in the case of vitamin A or D) or the alpha-tocopherol level as acetate (in the case of vitamin E), whether naturally present or added, together in either case with an indication of the period during which that level will remain present but where more than one of these vitamins is present, either the period for each or only the shortest of such periods;
  • (c) for copper, the name of the additive and the total level of the element, whether naturally present or added;
  • (d) for enzymes—
  • (i) the names of the active constituents according to their enzymatic activities, as specified in the authorisation concerned;
  • (ii) the identification number allotted by the International Union of Biochemistry;
  • (iii) the activity units (expressed as activity units per kilogram or activity units per litre);
  • (iv) an indication of the period during which the activity units will remain present;
  • (v) an indication of any significant characteristics of the enzyme arising during manufacture, as specified in the authorisation concerned; and
  • (vi) the EC registration number;
  • (e) for micro-organisms—
  • (i) the identification of each strain, in accordance with the authorisation;
  • (ii) the file number of each strain;
  • (iii) the number of colony-forming units (expressed as CFU/kg);
  • (iv) the EC registration number;
  • (v) an indication of the period during which the colony-forming units will remain present; and
  • (vi) an indication of any significant characteristics of the micro-organisms arising during manufacture, as specified in the authorisation concerned;
3

In relation to the additives specified below, the following particulars may be contained in the statutory statement in addition to those required by paragraph 2—
