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 microcrystalline cellulose as a feed additive for all animal species. Microcrystalline cellulose is intended for use as a technological additive (functional groups: emulsifier, stabiliser, thickener, gelling agent and binder) in premixtures and feedingstuffs for all animal species with no minimum and maximum content. A proper identification and characterisation of microcrystalline cellulose as required for a feed additive is not available and the occurrence of potential toxic impurities cannot be assessed. The following conclusions apply only to microcrystalline cellulose meeting the food additive specifications. The FEEDAP Panel concluded that microcrystalline cellulose is considered safe for all animal species. The use of microcrystalline cellulose in animal nutrition is of no concern for consumer safety. In the absence of data, the FEEDAP Panel was not in the position to conclude on the safety of microcrystalline cellulose for the user. The use of microcrystalline cellulose as a feed additive is considered safe for the environment. The additive is considered to be efficacious in feedingstuffs for all animal species.
应欧盟委员会要求，动物饲料添加剂及产品或物质专家委员会（FEEDAP）被要求就微晶纤维素作为所有动物物种的饲料添加剂给出科学意见。微晶纤维素拟用作所有动物物种预混料和饲料中的技术添加剂（功能类别：乳化剂、稳定剂、增稠剂、胶凝剂和粘合剂），无最低和最高含量限制。目前尚无符合饲料添加剂要求的微晶纤维素的适当鉴定和特性描述，且无法评估潜在有毒杂质的存在情况。以下结论仅适用于符合食品添加剂规格的微晶纤维素。FEEDAP专家委员会得出结论，微晶纤维素对所有动物物种均被认为是安全的。在动物营养中使用微晶纤维素对消费者安全无影响。由于缺乏数据，FEEDAP专家委员会无法就微晶纤维素对使用者的安全性得出结论。微晶纤维素作为饲料添加剂的使用被认为对环境是安全的。该添加剂被认为在所有动物物种的饲料中是有效的。
