經(jīng)過評估，專家小組認為在建議的使用條件下該添加劑對目標物種、消費者和環(huán)境是安全的。由于其在食品中作為調(diào)味品使用，并且它們在飼料中的功能與在食品中的功能基本相同，因此認為沒有必要進一步證明其功效。部分原文報道如下：

 

　　Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of 2-acetylfuran [13.054] and 2-pentylfuran [13.059] belonging to chemical group 14 (furfuryl and furan derivatives with and without additional side-chain substituents and heteroatoms), when used as sensory additives (flavourings) in feed for all animal species. 2-Acetylfuran [13.054] was tested in tolerance studies in chickens for fattening, weaned piglets and cattle for fattening. No adverse effects were observed in the tolerance studies at 10-fold the intended use level. The FEEDAP Panel concluded that 2-acetylfuran [13.054] is safe for these species at the proposed use level of 0.5 mg/kg and conclusions were extrapolated to all animal species. For 2-pentylfuran [13.059], the Panel concluded that it is safe at the proposed maximum use level in feed of 0.5 mg/kg. No safety concern would arise for the consumer from the use of 2-acetylfuran [13.054] and 2-pentylfuran [13.059] up to the proposed maximum use level in feed as flavourings. The additives should be considered as irritant to skin and eyes and the respiratory tract, and as dermal and respiratory sensitisers. The use of 2-acetylfuran [13.054] and 2-pentylfuran [13.059] as flavours in animal feed was not expected to pose a risk for the environment. Since the compounds under assessment are used in food as flavourings and their function in feed is essentially the same as that in food, no further demonstration of efficacy was considered necessary.
