| Summary: | Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety of propyl gallate as a technological feed additive for all animal species. In its previous opinions on the safety and efficacy of the product, the FEEDAP Panel could not conclude on the safety for the consumer and on a safe level of propyl gallate for cats. Based on the new data provided, the FEEDAP Panel concluded that propyl gallate at a maximum concentration of 71 mg/kg complete feed is safe for cats. The FEEDAP Panel extrapolated the conclusions on the safety for the target species reached in its previous assessment to other physiologically related species and to all other animal species. Propyl gallate is considered safe for the consumer when used in complete feed for all animal species at the concentrations considered safe for the target species.
