2021年10月28日，据欧盟食品安全局（EFSA）消息，应欧盟委员会要求，欧盟动物饲料添加剂和产品（FEEDAP）研究小组就植物乳杆菌（Lactiplantibacillus plantarum）DSM 26571作为所有动物饲料添加剂的安全性和有效性发表科学意见。
经过评估，专家小组认为该菌株用作青贮饲料添加剂对家畜物种、消费者和环境都是安全的。该添加剂对皮肤或眼睛没有刺激性，也不是皮肤敏化剂，但应被视为潜在的呼吸敏化剂。专家小组的结论是，添加最低浓度为1×108 CFU/kg的植物乳杆菌DSM 26571可提高易青贮、中等难度和难青贮饲料的青贮产量。部分原文报道如下：
Following a request from the European Commission, the 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 Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (formerly Lactobacillus plantarum) DSM 26571 when used as a technological additive intended to improve ensiling of forage. The additive is intended for use with all forages and for all animal species at a proposed application rate of 1?×?108 colony forming units (CFU)/kg fresh material. The bacterial species L. plantarum is considered by EFSA to be suitable for the qualified presumption of safety approach to safety assessment. As the identity of the strain has been clearly established and no acquired antimicrobial resistance determinants of concern were detected, the use of the strain as a silage additive is considered safe for livestock species, for consumers and for the environment. The additive is not irritant to skin or eyes and is not a skin sensitiser but should be considered a potential respiratory sensitiser. The FEEDAP Panel concluded that the addition of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum DSM 26571 at a minimum concentration of 1?×?108 CFU/kg may improve the production of silage from easy, moderately difficult and difficult to ensile forage material.
