经过评估，由于缺乏足够的数据，专家小组无法就添加剂对目标物种或使用者的安全性得出结论，在提议的使用条件下，在动物营养中使用刺槐豆胶对消费者安全和环境没有影响。当与另一种水胶体（角叉菜胶）协同使用时，该添加剂具有作为胶凝剂、增稠剂和有助于稳定罐装宠物饲料的潜力。在缺乏数据的情况下，评估小组无法就刺槐豆胶作为乳化剂的功效得出结论。部分原文报道如下：

 

　　Following a request from the European Commission, the Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP Panel) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of locust bean gum as a technological feed additive (functional group: emulsifiers, gelling agents, stabilisers and thickeners) for all animal species. Owing the lack of sufficient data, no conclusions could be drawn on the safety of the additive for the target species or the user. The use of locust bean gum in animal nutrition under the proposed conditions of use is of no concern for consumer safety and the environment. The Panel concluded that the additive has potential to be efficacious as gelling agent, thickener and contributes to stabilise canned pet feed when used in synergy with another hydrocolloid (carrageenan). In the absence of data, the Panel could not conclude on the efficacy of the locust bean gum as an emulsifier.
