What Commission Regulation (EU) No 107/2013 of 5 February 2013 amending Annex I to Directive 2002/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum levels for melamine in canned pet food Text with EEA relevance requires
Commission Regulation (EU) No 107/2013, adopted on 5 February 2013 and published in the Official Journal of the European Union (L 35/1) on 6 February 2013, amends Annex I to Directive 2002/32/EC on undesirable substances in animal feed. The Regulation establishes a specific maximum level for melamine in canned wet pet food of 2,5 mg/kg on an 'as sold' basis, replacing the prior framework which expressed maximum levels relative to a feed with a moisture content of 12%. The regulatory action is grounded in scientific evidence that melamine, used in the coating of cans containing pet food, can migrate into that pet food. Information demonstrated that melamine can migrate in wet pet food from the can coating at a level above 2,5 mg/kg relative to a feed with a moisture content of 12% but below the specific migration limit (SML) of 2,5 mg/kg in the wet pet food. In light of this development in scientific and technical knowledge, the Commission established the maximum level of 2,5 mg/kg for melamine for canned wet pet food on an 'as sold' basis, in line with what is foreseen for canned food under Commission Regulation (EU) No 10/2011. The Regulation is binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States, entering into force on the twentieth day following its publication in the Official Journal.

- Recital (2): 'Information has been provided that melamine is used in the coating of cans containing pet food and can migrate into that pet food. Cans with the same coating are used for the canning of food and in accordance with the European Food Safety Authority's (EFSA) a scientific opinion on melamine in food and feed, a specific migration limit (SML) of 2,5 mg/kg for the canned food as such has been established by Commission Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 of 14 January 2011 on plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with food.'
