4d14	Novus Europe NV	Preparation of benzoic acid, calcium formate and fumaric acid	Additive composition:Preparation of benzoic acid, calcium formate and fumaric acid having a minimum content of:benzoic acid: 42,5-50 %,calcium formate: 2,5-3,5 %,fumaric acid: 0,8-1,2 %;Granulated form	Turkeys for fatteningTurkeys reared for breeding	-	500	1000	1. In the directions for use of the additive and premixtures, the storage conditions and stability to heat treatment shall be indicated.2. The additive shall not be used with other sources of benzoic acid or benzoates. When the additive is used with other sources of formates, formic acid, fumaric acid and fumarates, the following overall contents in complete feedingstuffs shall not be exceeded: 10000 mg/kg of formic acid and20000 mg/kg of fumaric acid.3. For users of the additive and premixtures, feed business operators shall establish operational procedures and organisational measures to address potential risks concerning their use. Where those risks cannot be eliminated or reduced to a minimum by such procedures and measures, the additive and premixtures shall be used with personal protective equipment, including breathing protection.	20 December 2031
