欧盟评估酿酒酵母DSM 34246作为猫和狗饲料添加剂的安全性和有效性

 　　  2024年5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）研究小组就酿酒酵母DSM 34246作为猫和狗饲料添加剂的安全性和有效性发表科学意见。 
　　经过评估，专家小组认为该添加剂对目标物种是安全的，该添加剂不会刺激皮肤或眼睛，但它应被视为皮肤和呼吸道致敏物。该添加剂在5×10⁹ CFU/千克全价饲料的使用水平下对猫和狗是有效的。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 Saccharomyces cerevisiae DSM 34246 as a zootechnical feed additive for dogs and cats. The additive, with the trade name Canobios-BL, is intended for use in feed for cats and dogs at a proposed minimum inclusion level of 5 × 10⁹ CFU/kg complete feed. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is considered by EFSA to be suitable for the qualified presumption of safety approach to safety assessment. Since the identity of the active agent has been clearly established and the additive is composed by dried cells of the active agent and an emulsifier, that are not expected to introduce any risk, the additive is considered safe for the target species. Canobios-BL is not a skin or eye irritant but should be considered a skin and respiratory sensitiser. Canobios-BL is considered to be efficacious in feedingstuffs for dogs and cats at the use level 5 × 10⁹ CFU/kg complete feed.
