Borregaard's lignosulfonate products re-approved as feed additives for all animal species

Norway-based biochemical producer Borregaard has announced the reauthorisation of its lignosulfonate products as feed additives for all animal species by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).

As the only lignosulfonate producer, Borregaard has spearheaded the reauthorisation process towards EFSA and the EU Commission over the past 13 years, the company said.

"We have compiled a thorough dossier, demonstrating the performance and safety of our lignosulfonates," said Tom Stylo, business director (feed additives) at Borregaard. "We are therefore very pleased with this approval, which validates the efficacy and safety of our products as feed additives for the foreseeable future."

The approval applies to the use of Borregaard's lignosulfonates as a technological additive for all animal species and underlines its commitment to delivering sustainable solutions to the feed industry, the company added.
