2021年3月8日，据欧盟食品安全局（EFSA）消息，应欧盟委员会要求，动物饲料添加剂和产品（FEEDAP）研究小组被要求就藤黄干提取物（a dried extract from Garcinia gummi‐gutta (L.) Roxb. ）作为猫和狗饲料添加剂的安全性发表科学意见。
据了解，由于提取物中约25%的成分仍未定性，且缺乏完整的毒理学数据，专家小组无法就添加剂对猫和狗的安全性做出结论。在没有证据表明提取物在动物饲料中起着调味作用或对适口性有影响的情况下，专家小组无法就添加剂的功效得出结论。
部分原文报道如下：
Following a request from the European Commission, the 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 dried extract from Garcinia gummi‐gutta (L.) Roxb. (Garcinia extract) when used as a sensory additive in feed for cats and dogs. Garcinia extract is specified to contain at least 60% hydroxycitric acid. Since about 25% of the composition of the extract remained uncharacterised and in the absence of complete toxicological data, the FEEDAP Panel was unable to conclude on the safety for cats and dogs. In the absence of adequate data, no conclusions can be on the safety for the user. In the absence of evidence that the extract acts as a flavour in animal feed or has an effect on palatability, the FEEDAP Panel was unable to conclude on the efficacy of the additive.
