据欧盟食品安全局（EFSA）消息，3月30日欧盟食品安全局就亚硒酸钠作为动物饲料添加剂的安全性与效能发布意见。
欧盟食品安全局称，硒元素是脊椎动物维持代谢功能的一类必需元素。亚硒酸钠可作为动物所需硒安全与有效的来源。如果在限量许可范围内使用，那么对于消费者来讲是安全的，也不会对环境构成风险。
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 selenium compounds as feed additive for all animal species: sodium selenite, based on a dossier submitted by Todini Vital Chemicals S.P.A.
Selenium is a trace element that is essential for vertebrates and is involved in a series of vital metabolic functions （e.g. prevention of oxidative stress, proper thyroid function, maintenance of cellular redox status, immunocompetence, detoxification of heavy metals and xenobiotics）。
