The European Commission asked EFSA to issue a new opinion on the safety and efficacy of Cr propionate (KemTRACE™ Chromium) as a feed additive for all growing poultry species, including the newly submitted information by the applicant that involves the use of the microtracer. In the FEEDAP Panel opinion on the safety of the microtracer issued on 15 January 2025, no conclusion could be made on the environmental safety of the microtracer for the groundwater compartment.

Therefore, EFSA delivers an assessment of the safety and efficacy of the additive consisting of Cr propionate (KemTRACE chromium 0.4% MT) for chickens for fattening, chickens reared for laying/reproduction, turkeys for fattening and turkeys reared for reproduction. The use of KemTRACE Chromium 0.4% MT (containing a microtracer) at the proposed conditions of use is safe for the target species, consumers and the environment.

Roasted seeds from <i>Plukenetia volubilis</i> L. (commonly known as sacha inchi) have been consumed in Peru for more than 25 years. The applicant intends to place on the European Union (EU) market roasted sacha inchi seeds to be consumed as a whole food. This TF had previously been subject to a TF notification under the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2015/2283. During the assessment of that notification, EFSA identified safety concerns related to uncertainties regarding the presence of alkaloids in the TF. In the current application, the applicant provided additional data addressing the concern on alkaloids. These analyses identified trigonelline as the only quantifiable alkaloid present in the TF, a finding that is also supported by data available in the literature. Dietary exposure to trigonelline, for example, through coffee consumption at amounts higher than those determined in the TF, has not been associated with adverse effects. The Panel considers that the newly submitted evidence sufficiently characterises the alkaloid fraction of the TF, addresses the previously identified uncertainties and resolves the safety objections raised during the earlier assessment of the TF notification. Furthermore, based on the composition and the proposed conditions of use, the Panel considers that the consumption of the TF is not nutritionally disadvantageous. The Panel concludes that the TF, roasted seeds from <i>Plukenetia volubilis</i> L., is safe under the proposed conditions of use.</p>","PeriodicalId":11657,"journal":{"name":"EFSA Journal","volume":"24 7","pages":"e10256"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13397464/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148583771","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
