(13)Commission Regulation (EC) No 2277/2003note had authorised calcium stearate to be used as a feed additive in organic production. However, Commission Regulation (EU) No 892/2010note listed calcium stearate among the products that are not feed additives. Consequently, in 2012, it was removed from the list of authorised feed additives in Commission Regulation (EC) No 889/2008note by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 505/2012note. Currently, calcium stearate is covered by the feed materials listed in the table in Part C, point 13, number 13.6.4, of the Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 68/2013note. Calcium stearate should therefore be authorised as a feed material for organic production. Annex III to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/1165 should be amended accordingly.
