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。由于其被认为可以给食物调味，并且它们在饲料中的功能是相同的，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 herbaceous parts of Pelargo nium graveolens L��H��r. (geranium rose 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 geranium rose oil is safe up to the maximum proposed use levels of 5 mg/kg complete feed for all 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 that is co nsidered safe when co nsumed via feed. No co ncerns for co nsumers were identified following the use of geranium rose 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 skin and respiratory sensitiser. The use of geranium rose oil at the proposed use level in feed was not expected to pose a risk to the environment. Since P. graveolens and its preparations were recognised to flavour food and its function in feed would be essentially the same as that in food, no further demo nstration of efficacy was co nsidered necessary.
