經(jīng)過評(píng)估，專家小組認(rèn)為該添加劑對(duì)目標(biāo)物種、消費(fèi)者和環(huán)境是安全的。由于缺乏數(shù)據(jù)，研究小組無法就該添加劑對(duì)皮膚或眼睛產(chǎn)生刺激的可能性得出結(jié)論。評(píng)估中的添加劑被認(rèn)為是非反芻動(dòng)物物種氨基酸L-纈氨酸的有效來源。為了使補(bǔ)充的L-纈氨酸對(duì)反芻動(dòng)物和非反芻動(dòng)物同樣有效，需要防止其在瘤胃中降解。部分原文報(bào)道如下：
Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of l-valine produced by fermentation with a genetically modified strain of Escherichia coli (CGMCC 22721) as a nutritional additive for all animal species. The production strain and its DNA were not detected in the final additive. Therefore, the final product does not give raise to any safety concern regarding the genetic modification of the production strain. The EFSA Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) concludes that l-valine produced using E. coli CGMCC 22721 is safe for the target species when supplemented in appropriate amounts to the diet according to the nutritional needs of the target species. The FEEDAP Panel has concerns on the use of amino acids in water for drinking for hygienic reasons, and due to the risk of imbalances when administered simultaneously via feed. The use of l-valine produced using E. coli CGMCC 22721 in animal nutrition is considered safe for the consumers and for the environment. The FEEDAP Panel cannot conclude on the potential of l-valine produced using E. coli CGMCC 22721 to irritant to the skin or eyes, a dermal or respiratory sensitiser due to the lack of data. The endotoxin activity of the additive does not represent a hazard for users handling the additive when exposed by inhalation. The additive l-valine produced by fermentation using E. coli CGMCC 22721 is regarded as an efficacious source of the essential amino acid l-valine for non-ruminant nutrition. For the supplemental l-valine to be as efficacious in ruminants as in non-ruminant species, it requires protection against degradation in the rumen.
