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。由于其在食品中作为调味品使用,并且它们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 was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of 4-methyl-5-vinylthiazole [15.018] belo
nging to chemical group 29 (thiazoles, thiophene and thiazoline), when used as sensory additive (flavourings) in feed for all animal species. The FEEDAP Panel co
ncluded that 4-methyl-5-vinylthiazole [15.018] was safe at the maximum proposed use level of 0.5 mg/kg complete feed for veal calves (milk replac
er), dogs, salmo
nids and ornamental fish. For the other species, the calculated safe co
ncentrations in complete feed are: 0.4 mg/kg for cattle for fattening, sheep/goat, horses and cats; 0.3 mg/kg for sows and dairy cows; 0.2 mg/kg for piglets, pigs for fattening, rabbits and laying hens; and 0.1 mg/kg for chickens for fattening and turkeys for fattening. These co
nclusions were extrapolated to other physiologically related species. For any other species, the additive was co
nsidered safe at 0.1 mg/kg complete feed. No safety co
ncern would arise for the co
nsumer from the use the additive up to the maximum proposed use level in feed. The additive should be co
nsidered as irritant to skin and eyes and the respiratory tract, and as dermal and respiratory sensitisers. The use of 4-methyl-5-vinylthiazole [15.018] as a flavour in animal feed was not expected to pose a risk to the environment. Since the compound under assessment is used in food as flavouring and its function in feed is essentially the same as that in food, no further demo
nstration of efficacy was co
nsidered necessary.
