食品伙伴网讯2023??2日,据欧盟食品安全局(EFSA)消息,应欧盟委员会要求,欧盟动物饲料添加剂和产品(FEEDAP)研究小组就莳萝酊剂(a tincture derived from the fruit of Anethum graveolens L.)作为所有动物饲料添加剂的安全性和有效性发表科学意见
经过评估,专家小组认为在建议的使用条件下该添加剂对目标物种、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 a tincture from the fruit of Anethum graveolens L. (dill tincture) when used as a sensory additive in feed and water for drinking for all animal species. The product is a ■■■■ solution, with a dry matter co
ntent of approximately 0.9%. The product co
ntained 0.0247% polyphenols (of which 0.0137% were flavonoids) and 0.003% carvone. Estragole was present at co
ncentrations between the limit of detection and the limit of quantification in the five batches examined. The Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) co
ncluded that the dill tincture is safe at the maximum proposed use levels of 200 mg/kg complete feed for horses and 50 mg/kg complete feed for all other animal species. The FEEDAP Panel co
nsidered that the use in water for drinking is safe provided that the total daily intake of the additive does not exceed the daily amount which is co
nsidered safe when co
nsumed via feed. No safety co
ncern would arise for the co
nsumer from the use of dill tincture up to the maximum proposed use levels in feed. Dill tincture should be co
nsidered as irritant to skin and eyes, and as a dermal and respiratory sensitiser. When handling the additive, exposure of unprotected users to estragole cannot be excluded. Therefore, to reduce the risk, the exposure of the users should be minimised. The use of dill tincture as a flavour in animal feed was not expected to pose a risk for the environment. Since the fruit of A. graveolens and its preparations were recognised to flavour food and their function in feed would be essentially the same as that in food, no further demo
nstration of efficacy was co
nsidered necessary.
