Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP Panel) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of iron(II)-betaine complex as a nutritio
nal feed additive for all animal species. ba
sed on the results of a tolerance study carried out in chickens the FEEDAP Panel co
ncluded that the additive is safe for chickens for fattening when used up to the current maximum authorised levels of iron in feed; this co
nclusion was extrapolated to all animal species and categories at the respective maximum iron levels in complete feed authorised in the European Unio
n. The FEEDAP Panel co
ncluded that the use of the iron(II)-betaine complex in animal nutrition at the maximum iron levels authorised for the animal species poses no co
ncern to the safety of consumers. The additive is not a skin irritant, but it is an irritant to the eyes. Due to the traces of nickel, the additive is co
nsidered to be a respiratory and skin sensitiser. Regarding the safety for the environment, the use of the additive in feed for terrestrial animals, land-ba
sed and sea cages aquaculture is co
nsidered safe under the proposed co
nditions of use. ba
sed on the deposition of iron in edible tissues/organs in chickens for fattening, the FEEDAP Panel co
ncluded that the additive is a source of bioavailable iron, comparable to the standard inorganic iron source, and therefore, the additive is efficacious in meeting the birds iron requirements. This co
nclusion can be extrapolated to all animal species and categories.
