Abstract: Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the assessment of the application for renewal of authorisation of betaine anhydrous (3a920) as a feed additive for all animal species. In the context of the renewal application, the applicant requested a change of the authorised specifications for purity of the liquid form of betaine anhydrous from 47% to 38%. The applicant has provided data demonstrating that the additive currently in the market complies with the conditions of authorisation or with the newly proposed specifications. No new evidence that would lead the EFSA Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) to reconsider its previous conclusions is available. Thus, the FEEDAP Panel concludes that the additive remains safe for the target species, consumers and the environment. Due to the lack of data, the FEEDAP Panel cannot conclude on the safety for the user of the additive. There is no need to assess the efficacy of the additive in the context of the renewal of the authorisation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
