2024年5月16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）研究小組就丁香酊（clove tincture）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目標(biāo)物種、消費者和環(huán)境是安全的。由于丁香的花苞及其制劑被認(rèn)為可以給食物調(diào)味，并且它們在飼料中的功能與在食物中的功能基本相同，因此無需進(jìn)一步證明其功效。部分原文報道如下：
Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of a tincture from the dried flower bud of Syzygium aromaticum (L.) Merr. & L.M. Perry (clove tincture) when used as a sensory additive in feed and water for drinking for all animal species. The product is a ■■■■■) solution, with a dry matter content of ~ 1.66%. The product contains on average 0.511% phenolic acids (of which 0.0344% were flavonoids), 0.039% eugenol, 0.00019% methyleugenol and 0.00008% estragole. The Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) concluded that the use of clove tincture is very unlikely to be of safety concern for the target species up to the maximum proposed use level of 50 mg clove tincture/kg complete feed for all animal species, except for horses, for which the proposed use level is 200 mg/kg complete feed. The FEEDAP Panel considers that the use in water for drinking alone or in combination with use in feed should not exceed the daily amount that is considered very unlikely to be of safety concern when consumed via feed alone. No safety concern would arise for the consumer and the environment from the use of clove tincture up to the maximum proposed use levels in feed. The additive under assessment should be considered as irritant to skin and eyes, and as a dermal and respiratory sensitiser. When handling the additive, exposure of unprotected users to methyleugenol and estragole may occur. Therefore, to reduce the risk, the exposure of the users should be minimised. Since the flower buds of S. aromaticum and their preparations were recognised to flavour food and their function in feed would be essentially the same, no demonstration of efficacy was considered necessary.
