Abstract: Following the requests from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the assessment of the follow‐up application for renewal of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum ATCC PTA‐6139 and Lacticaseibacillus paracasei ATCC PTA‐6135 as silage additives for all animal species. The additives are currently authorised for use in feed for all animal species (1k20725 and 1k20735, respectively). In the previous opinions, the FEEDAP Panel could not conclude on the full characterisation of the additives under assessment due to absence of data regarding the microbiological contamination and chemical impurities. The applicant provided new data which do not raise safety concerns allowing the Panel to conclude on the characterisation of the products.
