欧盟评估乙二胺铁螯合物作为所有动物饲料添加剂的安全性和有效性

 

　　经过评估，专家小组得出结论，该添加剂对育肥家禽和产蛋家禽是安全的，但不能对其他动物物种的安全性做出结论，也不能就添加剂对消费者或环境的安全性做出结论。该添加剂被视为对皮肤无刺激性，但对眼睛和皮肤过敏物质有刺激性。专家小组也无法对添加剂的功效做出结论。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 safety and efficacy of iron chelate of ethylenediamine (Iron‐EDA‐Cl) as a feed additive for all animal species. The EFSA Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) identified several issues related to the data provided concerning the chemical characteristics of the additive. based on the information provided, the FEEDAP Panel considered unlikely that the additive consists only of iron monochelate of EDA, but of several coexisting (iron) species; therefore, in the absence of adequate experimental data and owing to the uncertainties identified, the Panel cannot conclude on its identity and characterisation. The FEEDAP Panel concludes that the additive is safe for poultry for fattening and reared for laying/breeding, but cannot conclude on the safety for other animal species/categories. The FEEDAP Panel cannot conclude on the safety of the additive for the consumer or the environment. The FEEDAP Panel concludes that handling the additive poses a risk to users by inhalation. The additive should be considered as non‐irritant for the skin but irritant for the eyes and skin sensitiser. The FEEDAP Panel cannot conclude on the efficacy of the additive.
