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。部分原文报道如下：
Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of expressed mandarin oil from the fruit peels of Citrus reticulata Blanco, when used as a sensory additive (flavouring) in feed and water for drinking for all animal species. The FEEDAP Panel co
ncluded that the essential oil under assessment is safe up to the maximum proposed use levels in complete feed of 15 mg/kg for poultry, 33 mg/kg for pigs, 30 mg/kg for ruminants, 40 mg/kg for horse, and 15 mg/kg for salmon and rabbit. The presence of perillaldehyde was identified as a source of potential concern. However, in target species fed citrus by-products as part of daily feed the use of the expressed mandarin oil in feed was not expected to increase the exposure to perillaldehyde to a relevant extent (< 4%). For companion animals and ornamental fish not normally exposed to citrus by-products, no co
nclusion can be drawn. 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
nsumer safety were identified following the use of the additive up to the maximum proposed use level in feed. The essential oil under assessment should be co
nsidered as irritant to skin, eyes and the respiratory tract, and as a skin sensitiser. The use of the additive in animal feed under the proposed co
nditions of use was not expected to pose a risk for the environment. Expressed mandarin oil was recognised to flavour food. Since its function in feed would be essentially the same as that in food, no further demo
nstration of efficacy was co
nsidered necessary.
