The red carotenoid-rich bacterium Paracoccus carotinifaciens is authorised as a sensory additive for use in salmon and trout with a maximum content of 100 mg, expressed as the sum of astaxanthin, adonirubin and canthaxanthin per kg complete feed. The current carotenoid composition of the product is specified as 3–5 g canthaxanthin, 10–15 g adonirubin and 20–23 g astaxanthin/kg. The applicant proposes to modify the ranges of canthaxanthin to 1–5 g, and that of adonirubin to 7–15 g/kg product, while maintaining the astaxanthin range.
