[F112. Products and by-products obtained by fermentation using micro-organisms, inactivated resulting in absence of live micro-organisms U.K.

Feed materials listed in this chapter that are or are produced from genetically modified organisms, or result from a fermentation process involving genetically modified micro-organisms shall be compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 on genetically modified feed and food.

a

Products obtained from the biomass of specific micro-organisms grown on certain substrates. May contain up to 0,3 % antifoaming agents, 1,5 % filtration/clarifying agents and 2,9 % propionic acid.

b

Microorganisms used in the fermentation have been inactivated with the result that no such microorganisms are viable in the feed materials.

c

Cultivation on n-alkanes is prohibited (Regulation (EU) No 568/2010).

d

The used name of the yeast strains may vary from the scientific taxonomy. Therefore, synonyms of the yeast strains listed could also be used.

Timeline of Changes

This timeline shows the different versions taken from EUR-Lex before exit day and during the implementation period as well as any subsequent versions created after the implementation period as a result of changes made by UK legislation.

The dates for the EU versions are taken from the document dates on EUR-Lex and may not always coincide with when the changes came into force for the document.

For any versions created after the implementation period as a result of changes made by UK legislation the date will coincide with the earliest date on which the change (e.g an insertion, a repeal or a substitution) that was applied came into force. For further information see our guide to revised legislation on Understanding Legislation.
