Safety and efficacy of the feed additives consisting of citric acid anhydrous and citric acid monohydrate produced by fermentation with Aspergillus niger CGMCC 6.466 for all animal species (Sunshine Biotech International)
CGMCC 6.466 for the target species, the consumer and the user. The Panel concludes that the additives are safe for the environment. The FEEDAP Panel concludes that citric acid has the potential to act as an acidity regulator when used in feed and water for all animal species. In the absence of data, the Panel cannot conclude on the efficacy of citric acid as a preservative.
