62 notifications on feed additives since 1 January 2020, under 1% of all EU notifications in that time. 8 in the 365 days to 8 November 2026, against 4 in the 365 days before, up 100%. 2% were border rejections, against 30% across all products, and 15% had a serious risk decision.
The origins named most often were China (8), Belgium (7) and Germany (6). The findings reported most often were an unauthorised additive (23), dioxins and PCBs (12) and veterinary medicine residues (10).
Counts start on 1 January 2020 and run to 8 November 2026, the day the list was last read. A notification that names two countries of origin counts for each. Findings come from our word list matched against the EU subject line, which is never shown; 96% of all notifications match it, the rest count as other finding. Each reference links to the official record on RASFF Window. How this works.
