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 hydroxypropyl cellulose as a feed additive for all animal species. Hydroxypropyl cellulose is intended for use as a technological additive (functional groups: emulsifier, stabiliser and thickener) in premixtures and feedingstuffs for all animal species with no minimum and maximum content. A proper identification and characterisation of hydroxypropyl 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 hydroxypropyl cellulose meeting the food additive specifications. The FEEDAP Panel concluded that hydroxypropyl cellulose is considered safe for all animal species. The use of hydroxypropyl 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 hydroxypropyl cellulose for the user. The use of hydroxypropyl 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小组（FEEDAP）被要求就羟丙基纤维素作为所有动物物种的饲料添加剂给出科学意见。羟丙基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、稳定剂和增稠剂），无最低和最高含量限制。目前尚无饲料添加剂所需的羟丙基纤维素的适当鉴别和特性描述，也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羟丙基纤维素。FEEDAP专家小组得出结论，羟丙基纤维素对所有动物物种均被认为是安全的。在动物营养中使用羟丙基纤维素对消费者安全无影响。由于缺乏数据，FEEDAP专家小组无法就羟丙基纤维素对使用者的安全性得出结论。羟丙基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。
