THE EUR OPEAN COMMISSION,
Havi ng regar d to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Havi ng rega rd to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 Sept ember 2003 on 
additives for use in animal nutr ition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The use of expressed orange essential oil, distilled orang e essential oil and folded orange oils from Citrus sinensis (L.) 
Osbeck as feed additives was author ised for all animal species by Commission Implementing Regulation 
(EU) 2022/1421 (2)for a 10-year period. In Article 2 of Imple menting Regulation (EU) 2022/1421, transitional 
measures concer ning feed mater ials and compo und feed containing the additives concer ned and which are intende d 
for non-f ood producing animals were erroneously omitt ed. Further more, in its opinion of 29 Sept ember 2021 (3), 
the European Food Safety Author ity (‘the Auth ority’) could not conclude on the safety of expressed orange essential 
oil, distilled orange essential oil and folded orange oils from Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbec k as feed additives for dogs, cats, 
ornamental fish and ornamental birds, because they are not normally exposed to citrus by-pro ducts. The Author ity 
also clarified that folded orange oil identif ied as 2b143-f-ii in the Annex to Implementing Regulation 
(EU) 2022/1421 is not intended for use in horses, rabbits, dogs, cats, ornamental fish and ornamental birds. Those 
species should theref ore not have been included in the column ‘species or catego ry of animal’ of the Annex to 
Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1421 in relation to the additives concer ned. The title of Implementing 
Regulation (EU) 2022/1421 should be adjusted according ly to reflect the fact that the author isation of the additives 
concer ned relat es to certain animal species only .
(2) The use of bitter orange extract as a feed additive was author ised for certain animal species by Commission 
Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/652 (4)for a 10-y ear period. In its opinion of 23 June 2021 (5), the Author ity 
could not conclude on the safety of bitter orange extract as a feed additive for dogs, cats and ornamental fish, 
because they are not normally exposed to citrus by-pro ducts. In addition, an entr y cover ing other animal species 
than those mentioned in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/652 was erroneously omitted. 
Theref ore, the column ‘species or categor y of animal’ of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/652 
should refer to all animal species excep t dogs, cats, ornamental fish as well as ornamental birds, whic h are also not 
normally exposed to citrus by-products according to the conclusions of the Author ity in its opinion of 
29 Sept ember 2021 .
(1)OJ L 268, 18.10.2003, p. 29.
(2)Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1421 of 22 August 2022 concer ning the author isation of expressed orange essential 
oil, distilled orange essential oil and folded orange oils from Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbec k as feed additives for all animal species (OJ L 218, 
23.8.2022, p. 27).

(4)Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/652 of 20 Apr il 2022 concer ning the author isation of bitter orange extract as a feed 
additive for certain animal species (OJ L 119, 21.4.2022, p. 74).
(5)Safet y and efficacy of a feed additive consisting of a flavonoid-r ich dried extract of Citrus x aurantium L. fruit (bitt er orange extract) for

2024/239  16.1.2024ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_im pl/2024/239/oj 2/28(3) The use of expressed lemon essential oil, residual fraction of expressed lemon oil distilled, distilled lemon essential oil 
(volati le fraction) and distilled lime essential oil as feed additives was author ised for certain animal species by 
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1490 (6)for a 10-year period. In its opinion of 18 March 
2021 (7), the Auth ority could not conclude on the safet y of expressed lemon oil and its residual fraction and of lime 
oil as feed additives for compan ion animals and ornamental fish, because they are not normally exposed to citrus 
by-products. Ornamental fish should theref ore not have been included in the column ‘species or catego ry of animal’ 
of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1490 for the additive identif ied as 2b141-eo. In addition, an 
entr y covering other animal species excep t dogs, cats, ornamental fish, as well as ornamental birds, whic h are also 
not normally exposed to citrus by-products according to the conclusions of the Auth ority in its opinion of 
29 Sept ember 2021 , was erroneously omitt ed and should theref ore be included in the column ‘species or cate gory 
of animal’ of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1490 for the additives identif ied as 2b139-eo, 
2b139-rf and 2b141-eo. Finally , an entr y covering ‘other animal species’ was erroneously omitt ed and should 
theref ore be included in the column ‘species or catego ry of animal’ of the Annex to Imple menting Regulation 
(EU) 2022/1490 for the additive identified as 2b139-di.
(4) The use of expressed mandar in essential oil as a feed additive was author ised for poultr y, pigs, ruminants, horses, 
rabbits and salmonids by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/320 (8)for a 10-y ear period. In 
Article 2 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/320, transitional measures concer ning feed mater ials and 
compo und feed containing the additive concer ned and which are intended for non-f ood producing animals were 
erroneously omitt ed. Further more, an entr y covering ‘other animal species’ was erroneously omitt ed in the column 
‘species or cate gory of animal’ of the Annex to Imple menting Regulation (EU) 2022/320. In its opinion of 5 May 
2021 (9), the Author ity could not conclude on the safety of expressed mandar in essential oil as a feed additive for 
dogs, cats and ornamental fish, because they are not normally exposed to citrus by-pro ducts. In its opinion of 
29 Septembe r 2021 , the Author ity concluded that ornamental birds are also not normally exposed to citrus 
by-products. Theref ore, an entr y cover ing other animal species excep t dogs, cats, ornamental fish and ornamental 
birds should be included in the column ‘species or catego ry of animal’ of the Annex to Implementing Regulation 
(EU) 2022/320. The title of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/320 should be adjuste d according ly to reflect the 
fact that the author isation of expressed mandar in essential oil relat es to a broader list of animal species.
(5) Implementing Regulations (EU) 2022/1421, (EU) 2022/652, (EU) 2022/1490 and (EU) 2022/320 should theref ore 
be corrected according ly.
(6) Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the corrections, it is appropr iate to provid e for an 
extensi on of the transitional periods laid down in Imple menting Regulations (EU) 2022/1421, (EU) 2022/652, 
(EU) 2022/1490 and (EU) 2022/320 for the inter ested parties to prepare themselves to meet the requirements 
resulting from those corrections. Those Implementing Regulations should theref ore be amended according ly.
(7) The measures provid ed for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committ ee on 
Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
(6)Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1490 of 1 March 2022 concer ning the author isation of expressed lemon essential 
oil, residual fraction of expressed lemon oil distilled, distilled lemon essential oil (volatile fraction) and distilled lime essential oil as 
feed additives for certain animal species (OJ L 234, 9.9.2022, p. 1).
(7)Safet y and efficacy of feed additives consisting of expressed lemon oil and its fractions from Citrus limon (L.) Osbec k and of lime oil 
from Citrus aurantiif olia (Chr istm.) Swing le for use in all animal species (FEF ANA asbl) (EFSA Journal 2021;19(4):6548. doi:

Analytical method (2)
For the quantifi cation of phytochemical 
mark er d-limonene in the feed additive:
— Gas chromat ography coupled with 
flame ionisation detection (GC-FID) 
(based on ISO 3528)4.For users of the additive and 
premixtures, feed business 
operat ors shall establish op­
erational procedures and or­
gani sational measures to ad­
dress poten tial risks by
