Webinar on call for data on the use of 3-nitrooxypropanol in ruminants
Background
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) received a mandate for a scientific opinion under Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 on the safety for the target species (dairy cows and cows for reproduction) of 3-nitrooxypropanol (4c1). To ensure a comprehensive assessment, EFSA launched a public call for all potentially relevant available data (published, unpublished or newly generated data) from interested parties.
The purpose of this call for data is to request interested parties (e.g., feed business operators, national food/feed authorities, research institutions, academia) and/or other stakeholders, in any jurisdiction, to submit documented information (published and/or unpublished) relevant to the safety of 3-nitrooxypropanol for ruminants.
EFSA will then consider the relevance of the information provided for the risk assessment. The submission of the requested information is without prejudice to the final opinion of the FEEDAP Panel.
Objectives of the meeting
Provide stakeholders with clear guidance on EFSA’s call for data on the use of 3-nitrooxypropanol in ruminants, including the regulatory context, the evidence types requested, how to submit data, key timelines, and Q&A.
Structure of the meeting
The webinar started with a presentation, which was followed by an opportunity for questions and answers.
