　　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。由于该添加剂被认为可以给食物调味，而且它在饲料中的功能也是一样的，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 an essential oil from the seeds of Myristica fragrans Houtt. (nutmeg oil), when used as a sensory additive in feed and water for drinking for all animal species. The additive co ntains myristicin (up to 12%), safrole (2.30%), elemicin (0.40%) and methyleugenol (0.33%). For long-living and reproductive animals, the Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) co nsidered of low co ncern the use of the additive in complete feed at 0.2 mg/kg for laying hens and rabbits, 0.3 mg/kg for sows and dairy cows, 0.5 mg/kg for sheep/goats, horses and cats, 0.6 mg/kg for dogs and 2.5 mg/kg for ornamental fish. For short-living animals, the Panel had no safety co ncern when the additive is used at the maximum proposed use level of 10 mg/kg for veal calves, cattle for fattening, sheep/goats, horses for meat production, and salmon and for the other species, at 3.3 mg/kg for turkeys for fattening, 2.8 mg/kg chickens for fattening, 5.0 mg/kg for piglets, 6.0 mg/kg for pigs for fattening and 4.4 mg/kg for rabbits for meat production. These co nclusions were extrapolated to other physiologically related species. For any other species, the additive was co nsidered of low co ncern at 0.2 mg/kg. The use of nutmeg oil in animal feed was expected to be of no co ncern for co nsumers and the environment. The additive should be co nsidered as irritant to skin and eyes and as a skin and respiratory sensitiser. ba sed on the presence of safrole, nutmeg oil is classified as carcinogen (category 1B) and handled accordingly. Since nutmeg oil was recognised to flavour food and its function in feed would be the same, no further demo nstration of efficacy was co nsidered necessary.
