Safety of a feed additive consisting of a dried aqueous ethanol extract from the leaves of Melissa officinalis L. for all animal species (Nor‐Feed SAS)

Abstract The additive under assessment is a dried aqueous ethanol extract of Melissa officinalis L. leaves, intended to be used as a sensory additive (flavouring compound) in feed for all animal species. The aqueous ethanol extract is specified to contain ≥ 10% of hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives in...
