食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊  2024年12月19日，據(jù)歐盟食品安全局（EFSA）消息，應(yīng)歐盟委員會要求，歐盟動物飼料添加劑和產(chǎn)品（FEEDAP）研究小組就鼠尾草油（sage oil）作為所有動物飼料添加劑的安全性和有效性發(fā)表科學(xué)意見。

　　

　　經(jīng)過評估，專家小組認(rèn)為在建議的使用條件下該添加劑對目標(biāo)物種、消費(fèi)者和環(huán)境是安全的。由于鼠尾草油被認(rèn)為可以給食物調(diào)味，并且它們在飼料中的功能與在食物中的功能基本相同，因此無需進(jìn)一步證明其功效。部分原文報(bào)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 leaves of Salvia officinalis L. (sage oil) when used as a sensory additive in feed and in water for drinking for all animal species. The EFSA Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) concluded that sage oil is considered safe up to the maximum proposed use levels in complete feed of 20 mg/kg for ornamental fish. For the other species, the calculated safe concentrations in complete feed were 3 mg/kg for chickens for fattening and turkeys for fattening, 4 mg/kg for laying hens and rabbits, 5 mg/kg for piglets, 6 mg/kg for pigs for fattening, 7 mg/kg for sows and dairy cows, 11 mg/kg for veal calves (milk replacers) and salmonids, 10 mg/kg for cattle for fattening, sheep/goats and horses, 12 mg/kg for dogs and 2 mg/kg for cats. These conclusions were extrapolated to other physiologically related species. For any other species, the additive is safe at 2 mg/kg complete feed. The FEEDAP Panel considered that the use of sage oil in water for drinking is safe provided that the total daily intake of the additive does not exceed the daily amount that is considered safe when consumed via feed. The use of sage oil in animal feed under the proposed conditions of use is safe for the consumer and the environment. Regarding user safety, sage oil should be considered as an irritant to skin and eyes and as a dermal and respiratory sensitiser. Since the oil of the leaves of S. officinalis is recognised to flavour food and its function in feed would be essentially the same as that in food, no further demonstration of efficacy was considered necessary.
