Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of essential oils from the bark and the leaves of J. Presl (cinnamon bark oil and cinnamon leaf oil), when used as sensory additives (flavourings) in feed and water for drinking for all animal species. Owing to the presence of styrene in the essential oils under assessment, the FEEDAP Panel is not in the position to conclude on the safety for long-living animals and animals for reproduction. For 'short-living' animals, the FEEDAP Panel concluded that cinnamon bark oil and cinnamon leaf oil are considered as safe up to the maximum proposed use levels in complete feed. For 'short-living' animals, the Panel considered the use of cinnamon bark oil in water for drinking as safe provided that the total daily intake of the additive does not exceed the daily amount that is considered safe when consumed via feed. For cinnamon leaf oil, the proposed use level in water for drinking of 3 mg/L is considered as safe for 'short-living' animals. No concerns for consumers were identified following the use of the additives at the use level considered safe in feed for the target species. Based on the presence of safrole ≥0.1%, cinnamon leaf oil and bark oil are classified as carcinogen (category 1B) and handled accordingly. The use of the additives under the proposed conditions in animal feed was not expected to pose a risk for the environment. Since and its preparations are recognised to flavour food and its function in feed would be essentially the same, no further demonstration of efficacy is considered necessary for cinnamon essential oils.
应欧盟委员会的要求，动物饲料添加剂和产品或物质专家小组（FEEDAP）被要求就樟科植物树皮和树叶中的精油（肉桂树皮油和肉桂叶油）用作所有动物饲料和饮用水中的感官添加剂（调味剂）时的安全性和有效性发表科学意见。由于所评估的精油中存在苯乙烯，FEEDAP小组无法就其对长寿动物和繁殖动物的安全性得出结论。对于“短期寿命”动物，FEEDAP小组得出结论，肉桂树皮油和肉桂叶油在全价饲料中达到建议的最高使用水平时被认为是安全的。对于“短期寿命”动物，小组认为，只要添加剂的每日总摄入量不超过通过饲料摄入时被认为安全的每日量，在饮用水中使用肉桂树皮油就是安全的。对于肉桂叶油，饮用水中3毫克/升的建议使用水平对“短期寿命”动物被认为是安全的。在目标物种饲料中以被认为安全的使用水平使用添加剂后，未发现对消费者有任何担忧。基于黄樟素含量≥0.1%，肉桂叶油和树皮油被归类为致癌物（1B类）并相应处理。预计在所提议的条件下在动物饲料中使用添加剂不会对环境构成风险。由于肉桂精油及其制剂被认为可用于食品调味，且其在饲料中的功能基本相同，因此认为无需进一步证明其有效性。
