Additive Sensory additives Authorised in animal feed (EU)

Description

What it is. 3-Methylphenol (m-cresol) is a flavouring substance obtained by chemical synthesis, with a minimum purity of 98% (CAS 108-39-4, chemical formula C7H8O, FLAVIS number 04.026).

What it is for. As a functional group 2b sensory additive, it is generally used to modify or reinforce the odour and taste profile of feed. It is authorised for all animal species and must be incorporated into feed via a premix.

Points to watch. The additive label must state a recommended maximum content of 5 mg of active substance per kg of complete feed at 12% moisture; if the premix dose leads to exceeding this level, the functional group, identification number, name and added quantity must be stated on the label. Storage conditions and thermal stability must be specified in the instructions, and operators must manage inhalation, skin and eye contact risks, with personal protective equipment where needed.
