食品伙伴網訊  2019年12月13日，據歐盟食品安全局（EFSA）消息，應歐盟委員會要求，歐盟動物飼料添加劑和產品（FEEDAP）研究小組就丁基羥基茴香醚（butylated hydroxy anisole ，BHA）對所有動物物種的安全性發(fā)表科學意見。

 

　　早在2018年，專家小組已就BHA的安全性和有效性發(fā)表了意見。經過評估，專家小組認為該物質添加量為150 mg BHA/kg全價飼料對所有動物物種是安全的。此次評估無法確定BHA在貓的全價飼料中的安全濃度。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 of butylated hydroxy anisole （BHA） for all animal species. In 2018, the Panel delivered an Opinion on the safety and efficacy of BHA. The Panel concluded that 'a weight of evidence of the limited data supports that 150 mg BHA/kg complete feed would be a safe dose for all animal species. However, a possible exception could be cat, with its known lower capacity for glucuronidation of phenolic compounds and for which no specific data were available'. The Applicant submitted a review of the metabolism of phenolic compounds in cats and an in vivo study with cats. No specific information on metabolic fate of BHA has been made available for the feline species. The lack of knowledge is of particular relevance considering the additional load of phenolic compounds by dietary BHA for the full lifetime expectancy of cats. Owing the shortcomings in the design and reporting, the in vivo study could not be used to conclude on the safety of BHA for cats. Consequently, the Panel reiterates that no safe concentration of BHA in complete feed for cats could be established.
