據(jù)歐盟食品安全局（EFSA）消息，3月1日歐盟食品安全局就專利藍(lán)V作為飼料添加劑用于非產(chǎn)肉動(dòng)物的安全性與效能發(fā)布了意見。
專利藍(lán)V是一種著色劑，僅限用于非產(chǎn)肉動(dòng)物。專利藍(lán)V的最大使用濃度為250毫克/千克。
歐盟食品安全局認(rèn)為，專利藍(lán)V的使用說明應(yīng)該是：專利藍(lán)V的最低濃度為90%,其中的無色母體成分含量不高于1%。
部分原文報(bào)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 Patent Blue V as feed additive for all animal species.
Patent Blue V （E131） is intended to add colour to feedingstuffs. It is applied for use in non food- producing animals only. The assessment is therefore limited to its safety for the target animals and the users and its efficacy.
Patent Blue V is not genotoxic. This conclusion is limited to a Patent Blue V having a minimum purity of 90 % and containing not more than 1 % of leuco base. Patent Blue V is poorly absorbed and has low systemic toxicity.
The safety assessment is based on a Patent Blue V with a specification different from that currently used for the food additive. It is strongly recommended that the specification be adjusted to match that of the product used in the critical genotoxicity study （in vivo comet assay）。 The specification for the feed additive should be: Patent Blue V with a minimum purity of 90 % and containing not more than 1 % of leuco base.
