經(jīng)過評(píng)估，專家小組得出結(jié)論，該添加劑在授權(quán)使用條件下對目標(biāo)物種、消費(fèi)者和環(huán)境都是安全的。在授權(quán)更新的情況下，無需評(píng)估添加劑的功效。部分原文報(bào)道如下：

　　

　　Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the renewal of the feed additive consisting of canthaxanthin (Carophyll® Red 10%) for breeder hens and to modify the additive specifications by substituting ethoxyquin by 4.4% butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and increasing the limit for dichloromethane to 80 mg/kg. The additive complies with the conditions of the authorisation. The Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) notes that the proposed modifications for the additive are considered to be of no concern. The Panel concluded that CAROPHYLL®Red 10% remains safe for the target species and the consumer under the current authorised conditions of use for CAROPHYLL® Red 10%. The Panel noted that the current maximum residue limits (MRLs) set in the different authorisations for canthaxanthin may not be protective enough for the consumer when considering combined exposure by all possible routes. CAROPHYLL® Red 10% should be considered to be irritant to skin and eyes and the respiratory tract and to be a skin sensitiser; any exposure is considered a risk. In the absence of data, the Panel could not conclude whether the additive CAROPHYLL® Red 10% remains safe for the environment under the current conditions of the authorisation. There is no need for assessing the efficacy of the additive in the context of the renewal of the authorisation.
