食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊   據(jù)歐盟食品安全局（EFSA）消息，3月30日歐盟食品安全局就亞硒酸鈉作為動物飼料添加劑的安全性與效能發(fā)布意見。

    歐盟食品安全局稱，硒元素是脊椎動物維持代謝功能的一類必需元素。亞硒酸鈉可作為動物所需硒安全與有效的來源。如果在限量許可范圍內使用，那么對于消費者來講是安全的，也不會對環(huán)境構成風險。

    部分原文報道如下：

    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 selenium compounds as feed additive for all animal species: sodium selenite, based on a dossier submitted by Todini Vital Chemicals S.P.A.

    Selenium is a trace element that is essential for vertebrates and is involved in a series of vital metabolic functions （e.g. prevention of oxidative stress, proper thyroid function, maintenance of cellular redox status, immunocompetence, detoxification of heavy metals and xenobiotics）。
