In the manufacturing process used to obtain the product under assessment, the cells from the production strain are inactivated but not removed from the final product. The FEEDAP Panel concluded that the additive does not give rise to any safety concern regarding the genetic modification of the strain. DNA from the strain is present in the final product, but its presence does not raise any safety issue since the strain does not harbour any gene of concern. No viable cells of the strain were detected in the final product. The use of l\u2010threonine produced using C.\u2009glutamicum KCCM 80367 in feed is safe for the target species when supplemented in appropriate amounts to the diet according to their nutritional needs. The use of l\u2010threonine produced using C. glutamicum KCCM 80367 in animal nutrition is considered safe for the consumers of products from animals receiving the additive, and to the environment. With regard to the safety of users, the additive is not irritant to skin but should be considered as a skin and respiratory sensitiser. No conclusions can be reached on its eye irritation potential. Exposure of users by inhalation and dermal routes is considered a risk. The additive l\u2010threonine produced using C. glutamicum KCCM 80367 is regarded as an effective source of the amino acid l\u2010threonine for all non\u2010ruminant species. To be as efficacious in ruminants as in non\u2010ruminants, it should be protected from ruminal degradation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2903\/j.efsa.2026.10294","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,14]],"date-time":"2026-09-14T12:45:16Z","timestamp":1789389916000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Safety and efficacy of a feed additive consisting of l\u2010threonine produced using Corynebacterium glutamicum KCCM 80367 for all animal species (CJ Europe GmbH)"],"prefix":"10.2903","volume":"24","author":[{"name":"EFSA Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP)","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Roberto Edoardo","family":"Villa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giovanna","family":"Azimonti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eleftherios","family":"Bonos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Henrik","family":"Christensen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mojca","family":"Durjava","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Birgit","family":"Dusemund","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ronette","family":"Gehring","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Boet","family":"Glandorf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maryline","family":"Kouba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marta","family":"L\u00f3pez\u2010Alonso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francesca","family":"Marcon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giovanna","family":"Martelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carlo","family":"Nebbia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alena","family":"Pechov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Miguel","family":"Prieto\u2010Maradona","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Katerina","family":"Theodoridou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Montserrat","family":"Anguita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matteo L.","family":"Innocenti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elisa","family":"Pettenati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joana","family":"Revez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jordi","family":"Tarr\u00e9s\u2010Call","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joana P.","family":"Firmino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"10.2903\/j.efsa.2026.10294_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) .
