Recital 26
Recital 26
(26) Livestock should be fed on feed materials produced in accordance with the rules of organic production, and preferably coming from the own holding, taking their physiological needs into account. In establishing the origin of the feed materials the first thing to take into account is the difficulty of producing such materials in some areas, such as disadvantaged mountain areas. In addition, in order to provide for the basic nutritional requirements of livestock, certain minerals, trace elements and vitamins may need to be used under well- defined conditions.

Recital 47
Recital 47
(47) The use in organic production of products and substances such as plant protection products, fertilisers, soil conditioners, nutrients, components of animal nutrition, feed or food additives, processing aids and products for cleaning and disinfection should be limited to the minimum and under the specific conditions laid down in this Regulation. Similarly, attempts should be made to minimise the exposure of animals to pollutants, including the emissions of motor vehicles. The same approach should be followed regarding the use of products and substances as food additives and processing aids in the production of organic processed food. Therefore, provisions should be laid down to define any possible use of such products and substances in organic production in general and in the production of organic processed food in particular, subject to the principles laid down in this Regulation and to certain criteria.

Recital 49
(49) In the absence of specific Union rules on the measures to take when non- authorised substances or products are present in organic products, different approaches have been developed and implemented across the Union. This situation creates uncertainties for operators, control authorities and control bodies. It may also entail a different treatment of operators in the Union and affect consumers'’ confidence in organic products. It is therefore appropriate to lay down clear and uniform provisions to prohibit marketing as organic those products in which any non-authorised products or substances are present beyond given levels. Those levels should be established taking acabove any normal unintended count in particular of Commission Directive 2006/125/EC31 on processed cereal-based foods and baby foods for infants and young childrenamination such as drift from products and substances from other crops. All Member States must adapt to the limits set by the Commission by 2017. __________________ 31 Commission Directive 2006/125/EC of 5 December 2006 on processed cereal-based foods and baby foods for infants and young children (OJ L 339, 6.12.2006, p. 16).
