Scientific Opinion on the safety and efficacy of sodium bisulphate (SBS) for all animal species as preservative and silage additive, for pets and other non food‐producing animals (non‐food fur animals) as acidity regulator and for pets as flavouring

Abstract The additive (SBS) consists of sodium bisulphate without carrier materials. The applicants are seeking authorisation for SBS as a silage additive and for use as feed preservative for all animal species, as acidity regulator for pets and other non food‐producing animals and as flavouring for...
