Scientific opinion finds feed additive safe and effective for turkeys, indicating environmental and consumer safety.

Capsozyme SB Plus is safe for turkeys with a maximum of 20 GALU and 25 AXC units per kg of feed, ensuring consumer safety.
The feed additive shows efficacy in turkeys at the minimum levels of 14 GALU and 18 AXC units for optimal growth.
Observational analysis confirms safety and potential risks as a respiratory sensitiser during user exposure by inhalation.
Proposed use of the feed additive will strengthen breeding and growth in turkeys while protecting the environment.

Villa et al. (2025) studied this question.
