The Commission’s Implementing Regulation (EU) No. 2021/2090 of November 25, 2021 concerning “the denial of authorisation of titanium dioxide as a feed additive for all animal species” has been published in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU). It states that the authorization of titanium dioxide (E 171), as an additive in animal nutrition in the additive category “sensory additives” and in the functional group “colorants” is denied.
