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 essential oils from the flower buds or the leaves of Syzygium aromaticum (L.) Merr. & L.M. Perry: clove bud oil, clove leaf oil and a ��-caryophyllene-rich fraction of clove leaf oil (CCL oil), when used as sensory additives in feed and water for drinking for all animal species. Clove oils co ntain methyleugenol (up to 0.13%). The EFSA Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) co ncluded that the use of clove oils was of low co ncern for long-living and reproductive animals and of no co ncern for target species for fattening at the following co ncentrations in complete feed: 25�C50 mg/kg for clove bud oil, 28�C100 mg/kg for clove leaf oil and 20 mg/kg for CCL oil. The FEEDAP Panel co nsidered that the use in water for drinking alone or in co njunction with use in feed should not exceed the daily amount that is co nsidered of low or no co ncern when co nsumed via feed alone. No co ncerns for co nsumers were identified following the use of clove oils up to the highest safe level in feed. The additives under assessment should be co nsidered as irritant to skin and eyes and the respiratory tract and as skin sensitisers. When handling the essential oils, exposure of unprotected users to methyleugenol may occur. Therefore, to reduce the risk, the exposure of the users should be minimised. The use of clove oils at the proposed use level in feed was not expected to pose a risk for the environment. Since clove bud oil and clove leaf oil are recognised to flavour food and their function in feed would be essentially the same, no demo nstration of efficacy was co nsidered necessary.
