2021年12月15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)研究小组就合成铝硅酸钠(sodium aluminosilicate, synthetic)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,专家小组认为在缺乏足够数据的情况下,无法就添加剂对目标物种、消费者和环境的安全性得出结论,也无法就其作为技术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, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of sodium aluminosilicate, synthetic, as a technological feed additive for all animal species. The additive sodium aluminosilicate, synthetic, is proposed to be manufactured in two different forms, amorphous and crystalline, characterised by different ratios among the main components, silica, aluminium and sodium. In the absence of adequate data, the EFSA Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) was not in the position to conclude on the safety of the additive sodium aluminosilicate, synthetic, in both the amorphous and crystalline forms, for the target species, the consumer and the user. The use of sodium aluminosilicate, synthetic, as a feed additive was considered safe for the environment. In the absence of appropriate data, the FEEDAP Panel could not conclude on the efficacy of sodium aluminosilicate, synthetic, as a technological additive.
