This fermentation shall be conducted in accordance with good manufacturing practices using a non-pathogenic strain of micro-algae, which does not contain a novel trait. The name of the micro-algae (for example, Aurantiochytrium limanicum) shall be indicated on the label.

If an antioxidant is used, it must be approved for use in livestock feeds, it shall be used at the approved rate, and the common name or names shall be indicated on the label. It shall be labelled with the following statements: \"This ingredient is free of antimicrobial activity and is not a source of viable microbial cells.\" Warning/Mise en garde : \"This livestock feed contains canthaxanthin and should be used in feeds for salmonid fish at a rate not to exceed 50 grams of canthaxanthin per tonne of the complete feed. If canthaxanthin from omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids micro-algal oil is used in combination with other sources of canthaxanthin in feeds for salmonid fish, then the combined rate of canthaxanthin from all sources shall not exceed 50 grams per tonne of the complete feed. The combined concentration of astaxanthin, canthaxanthin and adonirubin from all sources shall not exceed 80 grams per tonne of the complete feed. / Cet aliment pour animaux de ferme contient aussi de la canthaxanthine et doit être utilisé dans les aliments destinés aux poissons salmonidés en quantité ne devant pas dépasser 50 grammes de canthaxanthine par tonne de l'aliment complet.
