A critical review to identify data gaps and improve risk assessment of bispheno...
Mhaouty-Kodja, Sakina; Zalko, Daniel; Tait, Sabrina; Testai, Emanuela; Viguié, Catherine; Corsini, Emanuela; Grova, Nathalie; Buratti, Franca MariaBisphenol A (BPA), a synthetic chemical widely used in the production of polycarbonate plastic and epoxy resins, has been associated with a variety of adverse effects in humans including metabolic, immunological, reproductive, and neurodevelopmental effects, raising concern about its health impact. In the EU, it has been classified as toxic to reproduction and as an endocrine disruptor and was thus included in ...
Safety and efficacy of a feed additive consisting of 6‐phytase produced by Aspe...
Bampidis, Vasileios; Azimonti, Giovanna; Bastos, Maria de Lourdes; Christensen, Henrik; Dusemund, Birgit; Durjava, Mojca; Kouba, MarylineFollowing a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of 6‐phytase produced by the genetically modified strain Aspergillus oryzae DSM 33737 (HiPhorius™ 10, 40, 20L and 50L) as a zootechnical feed additive for all poultry, all Suidae and all fin fish. The FEEDAP Pan...

Bampidis, Vasileios; Azimonti, Giovanna; Bastos, Maria de Lourdes; Christensen, Henrik; Durjava, Mojca; Dusemund, Birgit; Kouba, MarylineFollowing a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of endo-1,4-β-d-mannanase produced by Thermothelomyces thermophilus DSM 33149 (Natupulse® TS/TS L) as a zootechnical feed additive for chickens and turkeys for fattening, minor poultry species for fattening and ornamental birds. The additive under assessment, Natupulse® TS/TS L, does not p...

EFSA Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP); Bampidis, Vasileios; Azimonti, Giovanna; Bastos, Maria de LourdesFollowing a request from the European Commission, the Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety of a feed additive consisting of Duddingtonia flagrans NCIMB 30336 (BioWorma®) for all grazing animals. The safety and efficacy of the additive have been already assessed previously, however the FEEDAP Panel could not conclude on...
Safety and efficacy of the feed additive Anpro consisting of a mixture of Sepio...
EFSA Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP); Bampidis, Vasileios; Azimonti, Giovanna; Bastos, Maria de LourdesFollowing a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of the mixture of Sepiolite and Kieselguhr (diatomaceous earth) (Anpro) as a technological feed additive for all terrestrial animal species. According to the conventional risk assessment, due to lack of adequate data, the safety of the additive Anpro for the target species cannot be establ...
Safety and efficacy of a feed additive consisting of zeolites (≥ 50%) obtained ...
EFSA Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP); Bampidis, Vasileios; Azimonti, Giovanna; Bastos, Maria de LourdesFollowing a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of zeolites (≥ 50%) obtained from Neapolitan Yellow Tufa as a technological additive (functional group: anticaking) for all animal species. The additive is specified to contain not less than 50% of zeolites, namely phillipsite, chabazite and analcime. Neapolitan Yellow Tufa originates from...
Safety and efficacy of a feed additive consisting of endo‐1,4‐beta‐xylanase (pr...
EFSA Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP); Bampidis, Vasileios; Azimonti, Giovanna; Bastos, Maria de LourdesThe additive RONOZYME® WX (CT/L) contains endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced with a genetically modified strain of the filamentous fungus Aspergillus oryzae; the additive is currently authorised for poultry for fattening, weaned piglets, pigs for fattening, lactating sows and laying hens. The applicant has requested to change the production strain, substituting strain A. oryzae DSM 26372 with A. oryzae DSM 33700, ...
Safety and efficacy of the feed additive consisting of protease produced by Bac...
EFSA Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP); Bampidis, Vasileios; Azimonti, Giovanna; Bastos, Maria de LourdesFollowing a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of a protease (ProAct 360) produced by a genetically modified strain of Bacillus licheniformis (DSM 33099) as a zootechnical feed additive for poultry species for fattening or reared for laying/breeding. The production strain and its recombinant DNA were not detected in an intermediate con...
The hCOMET project: international database comparison of results with the comet...
Milić, Mirta; Ceppi, Marcello; Bruzzone, Marco; Azqueta, Amaya; Brunborg, Gunnar; Godschalk, Roger; Koppen, Gudrun; Langie, Sabine; Møller, PeterThe alkaline comet assay, or single cell gel electrophoresis, is one of the most popular methods for assessing DNA damage in the human population. One of the open issues concerning this assay is the identification of those factors that can explain the large inter-individual and inter-laboratory variation. International collaborative initiatives such as the hCOMET project - a COST Action launched in 2016 - repre...
