Description
What it is. Extract obtained from great burdock (Arctium majus Bernh. = A. lappa L.), a plant whose roots and aerial parts are processed to produce a flavouring substance intended for animal feed. The precise composition depends on the extraction process used by the supplier.
What it is for. This additive falls under functional group 2b, flavouring compounds, and is used for its organoleptic properties in cat and dog feed. It is generally used to modulate diet palatability, with no claimed nutritional function. Its use remains limited to low inclusion rates, typical of flavourings.
Points to watch. No maximum content is specified in the available sources; refer to the regulatory sheet and supplier documentation for conditions of use. Compositional variability depending on botanical origin and extraction process justifies case-by-case verification, as well as storage away from light and moisture.
