2024年12月19日，欧盟食品安全局（EFSA）发布消息，欧盟食品安全局（EFSA）发布关于植物乳杆菌（Lactiplantibacillus plantarum）NCIMB 40027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 assessment of the application for renewal of the authorisation of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum NCIMB 40027 as a technological additive (functional group: silage additives) for use in fresh material for all animal species. The applicant has provided evidence that the additive currently on the market complies with the existing terms of the authorisation. 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. Regarding user safety, the FEEDAP Panel reiterates its previous conclusion that the additive is not irritant to skin or eyes. However, it should be considered as a skin and respiratory sensitiser, and any exposure through the skin and respiratory tract is considered a risk. There is no need for assessing the efficacy of the additive in the context of the renewal of the authorisation.
