Abstract

Following a request from the European Commission, the European Food Safety Authority was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety of xanthan gum as a technological feed additive for all animal species, with the exception of cats and aquatic species. Xanthan gum, produced with Xanthomonas campestris ATCC SD-7012, CNCM I-4861, DSM 23730 and ■■■■■, does not pose any safety concern associated with the production strains. The FEEDAP Panel concluded that the additive is safe for all target animal species under application. The use of xanthan gum in animal nutrition did not pose any concern for consumer safety. Additionally, the use of this additive was considered safe for the environment. Regarding the user safety, the additive is not a skin irritant or a skin sensitiser. The FEEDAP Panel cannot conclude on the eye irritation potential due to the lack of data.

由黄原胶组成的饲料添加剂的安全性（由黄单胞菌菌株ATCC SD-7012、DSM 23730、CNCM I-4861和■■■■■■生产），适用于除猫和水生物种外的所有动物物种（BIOPOLYMER International）

应欧盟委员会的要求，欧洲食品安全局被要求就黄原胶作为除猫和水生物种外的所有动物的技术饲料添加剂的安全性发表科学意见。黄原胶由黄单胞菌（Xanthomonas campestris） ATCC SD-7012、CNCM I-4861、DSM 23730和■■■■■生产菌株生产，不存在任何安全问题。FEEDAP小组得出结论，该添加剂对应用中的所有目标动物物种都是安全的。黄原胶在动物营养品中的使用没有对消费者安全造成任何担忧。此外，使用这种添加剂被认为对环境是安全的。考虑到使用者的安全，该添加剂不是皮肤刺激物或皮肤致敏剂。由于缺乏数据，FEEDAP小组无法得出对眼睛刺激的潜在结论。
