Description
Pet food flavorings need formal approval, and renewals require a fresh safety look. A European Food Safety Authority panel reviewed the renewal request for L-cysteine hydrochloride monohydrate, a flavoring compound sold for cats and dogs. The maker showed that the product on the market still matches the terms of its existing authorization.
The panel concluded the additive remains safe for cats and dogs when used under the current conditions. For the people who handle it, the picture is stricter: the substance irritates skin, eyes, and mucous membranes, and any exposure counts as a risk, so care in handling is required. Because this was a renewal rather than a first approval, the panel saw no need to test again whether the flavoring works. The opinion keeps the product authorized on its existing terms.
