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。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 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 a tincture derived from the fruit of Petroselinum crispum (Mill.) Fuss (parsley tincture) when used as a sensory feed additive for all animal species. The product is a ■■■■ solution, with a dry matter co
ntent of approximately 0.82%. The product co
ntained 0.0198% polyphenols (of which 0.0085% were flavonoids), apiole (0.0083%), elemicin (0.0015%) and myristicin (0.0011%). The Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) co
ncluded that the parsley 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 parsley tincture up to the maximum proposed use levels in feed. Parsley 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 apiole, elemicin and myristicin cannot be excluded. Therefore, to reduce the risk, the exposure of the users should be minimised. The use of parsley tincture as a flavour in animal feed was not expected to pose a risk for the environment. Since the fruit of P. crispum and its preparations were recognised to provide flavour in food and their function in feed would be essentially the same, no demo
nstration of efficacy was co
nsidered necessary.
