Abstract: Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion (safety and efficacy) on the application for the renewal of the authorisation of the of L-cysteine hydrochloride monohydrate (2b920) as flavouring compound for cats and dogs. The applicant has provided evidence that the additive currently in the market complies with the existing conditions of authorisation. The additive L-cysteine hydrochloride monohydrate remains safe for cats and dogs under the current conditions of the authorisation. Regarding user safety, the additive should be considered as irritant to skin, eyes and mucous membranes. Any exposure is considered a risk. There is no need to assess the efficacy of the additive in the context of the renewal of the authorisation.
