2022年3月7日，據(jù)歐盟食品安全局（EFSA）消息，應(yīng)歐盟委員會要求，歐盟動物飼料添加劑和產(chǎn)品（FEEDAP）研究小組就海藻酸鈉 （sodium alginate）作為所有動物飼料添加劑的安全性和有效性發(fā)表科學(xué)意見。
經(jīng)過評估，專家小組認(rèn)為在建議的使用條件下該添加劑對消費(fèi)者和環(huán)境是安全的。關(guān)于海藻酸鈉對目標(biāo)物種的安全性或其在飼料中作為增稠劑或膠凝劑的功效，尚未得出結(jié)論。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 sodium alginate for all animal species. The additive is intended to be used as a technological additive (functional groups: thickeners and gelling agents). Sodium alginate is intended to be used in feedingstuffs for all animal species at a proposed minimum concentration of 2,000 mg/kg feed and a maximum concentration of to 30,000 mg/kg feed. The data provided for the composition of the additive does not allow a proper assessment of the product consistency, purity and physico-chemical properties. Sodium alginate is not irritant to skin but should be considered irritant to eyes, a skin and respiratory sensitiser and hazardous by inhalation. Sodium alginate is a high-molecular-weight polymer naturally occurring in brown algae. The use of sodium alginate in animal nutrition is considered safe for the consumers and the environment. No conclusion could be drawn on the safety of sodium alginate for the target species or on its efficacy as a thickener or gelling agent in feed.
