2024年7月19日，欧盟食品安全局（EFSA）发布消息，欧盟食品安全局（EFSA）发布关于D-泛酸钙（calcium D-pantothenate）作为所有动物饲料添加剂的授权更新申请的评估。
经过评估，专家小组得出结论，该添加剂在授权使用条件下对所有动物物种、消费者和环境都是安全的。在授权更新的情况下，无需评估添加剂的功效。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 calcium D-pantothenate for the renewal of its authorisation as a nutritional feed additive for all animal species. The additive calcium D-pantothenate is already authorised for use in all animal species (3a841). The applicant provided evidence that the additive currently in the market complies with the existing conditions of the authorisation and that the production process has not been modified. The EFSA Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) concluded that the additive remains safe for all animal species, consumers and the environment. Calcium D-pantothenate is not irritant to skin and eyes and is not a skin sensitiser. The present application for renewal of the authorisation does not include any modification proposal that would have an impact on the efficacy of the additive, and therefore, there is no need for re-assessing the efficacy.
