It is a labelling and nomenclature tool, not an authorisation list in the strict sense — the Catalogue creates a presumption that listed materials are acceptable for feed use, while non-listed materials may still be used but must be labelled with their product-specific description.

| __Relevance to algae:__ The prohibition on recycled animal proteins (RAP) in feed for farmed animals has been partially relaxed by Regulation (EU) 2021/1372, which re-authorises insect protein and single-cell proteins derived from certain substrates for use in aquaculture and poultry feed. This is peripherally relevant to algae in systems where algae are co-cultivated with or fed on organic waste streams: the TSE feed ban framework defines which organic substrates may and may not be used to produce biomass intended for animal feed, and algae producers using waste-stream nutrient sources should verify that their production substrates do not cause the resulting biomass to fall under TSE feed restrictions. | __Relevance to algae:__ The prohibition on recycled animal proteins (RAP) in feed for farmed animals has been partially relaxed by Regulation (EU) 2021/1372, which re-authorises insect protein and single-cell proteins derived from certain substrates for use in aquaculture and poultry feed.
