欧盟就解淀粉芽孢杆菌作为动物青贮饲料添加剂发布意见

 据欧盟食品安全局（EFSA）消息，应欧盟委员会的要求，1月11日欧盟食品安全局专家组就解淀粉芽孢杆菌（Bacillus amyloliquefaciens）作为动物青贮饲料添加剂发布了意见。

    部分原文报道如下：

    Following a request from the European Commission, the Panel on Additives, Products or Substances used in Animal Feed （FEEDAP） was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety for the target animals, consumer, user and the environment and on the efficacy of a product based on a single strain of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, when used as a technological additive intended to improve the ensiling process at a proposed dose of 5 x 107 CFU/kg fresh material of easy and moderately difficult to ensile forages.

    The identity of B. amyloliquefaciens NCIMB 30229 and its susceptibility to relevant antibiotics has been established. However, the strain produces cyclic lipopeptides which possess potent surfactant activity, known to be involved in food intoxication. Although the strain is intended for use only in the production of silage, as a spore former it will survive the ensiling process and be ingested by target animals. The spores will also survive passage through the gastrointestinal tract of animals and be a potential source of contamination of food of animal origin and of the environment. The greatest risk would be to those handling the product on farm. Consequently, the FEEDAP Panel concludes that use of the strain in the production of silage presents a hazard to consumers, users and the environment, and potentially also to the target animals.
