2.3 Evaluation of the Product Category in Scope
The product category in scope would be considered a Premix per the above based on the following:
Rationale | Comments |
The product matches the definition of the premix as per the definition in the legislation above. | The product can't be described as feed concentrate since for concentrate it is required to have added vitamins and minerals. And the list of ingredients on the label does not have vitamins and minerals and also the instructions for use on the label are strongly aligned with the definition that it is to be mixed and not fed directly to the animals. |
