Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of a tincture from the leaves of Urtica urens L. (dwarf nettle tincture) when used as a sensory additive in feed and/or in water for drinking for all animal species. The additive under assessment is a water/ethanol (■■■■■) tincture specified to have a dry matter content of 0.50%–0.80% (w/w) and to contain 0.9–1.8 mg/L p‐coumaric acid. The product contains on average 0.0076% (w/w) total polyphenols.
