Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of agar as a feed additive for pets and non-food-producing animals. Owing the lack of information, the FEEDAP Panel is not in the position to conclude on the safety of agar for pets and other non-food-producing animals and for the user. The FEEDAP Panel concludes that the additive is efficacious as a gelling agent, thickener and contributes to stabilise canned pet feed. No conclusion can be drawn on the efficacy of the additive as a binder.
应欧盟委员会的要求，欧洲食品安全局被要求就琼脂作为宠物和非食用动物饲料添加剂的安全性和有效性发表科学意见。由于缺乏相关信息，饲料添加剂和动物营养产品（FEEDAP）小组无法就琼脂对宠物、其他非食用动物以及使用者的安全性得出结论。FEEDAP小组得出结论，该添加剂作为胶凝剂、增稠剂是有效的，有助于稳定罐装宠物饲料。关于该添加剂作为粘合剂的有效性无法得出结论。
