Scientific Opinion on potassium diformate (KDF preservative) for all animal species

Potassium diformate (KDF preservative) is currently authorised as preservative for raw fish for feed use in all animal species. EFSA already issued an opinion on the safety and efficacy of potassium diformate when used as a preservative for raw fish and fish by-products for feed use in all animal species. The FEEDAP Panel concluded that the additive (i) is safe for the target species, the consumer and the environment when used under the proposed conditions, (ii) is an eye irritant and (iii) has the potential to increase the storage time of raw fish and fish by-products for feed use, in a dose-dependent manner at low temperature. The FEEDAP Panel is not aware of any new information that would lead it to reconsider its former position.
