经过评估，专家小组认为在建议的使用条件下该添加剂对消费者和环境是安全的。由于其在饲料中的功能与在食品中的功能基本相同，因此认为没有必要进一步证明其功效。部分原文报道如下：

　　Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of an essential oil obtained from the fruit of Cuminum cyminum L. (cumin oil), when used as a sensory additive in feed and water for drinking for all animal species. The EFSA Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) co ncluded that the use of cumin oil up to the maximum proposed use levels in feed of 15 mg/kg complete feed is co nsidered as safe for all animal species. The FEEDAP Panel co nsidered the use in water for drinking as safe provided that the total daily intake of the additive does not exceed the daily amount that is co nsidered safe when co nsumed via feed. No co ncerns for co nsumers were identified following the use of cumin oil up to the maximum proposed use level in feed. The additive under assessment should be co nsidered as irritant to skin and eyes, and as a dermal and respiratory sensitiser. When handling the essential oil, exposure of unprotected users to estragole (and dillapiole) cannot be excluded. Therefore, to reduce the risk, the exposure of the users should be minimised. The use of cumin oil at the proposed use level in feed is not expected to pose a risk to the environment. Since C. cyminum and its preparations are recognised to flavour food and its function in feed would be essentially the same as that in food, no further demo nstration of efficacy is co nsidered necessary.
