Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety of indigo carmine as a colourant feed additive for cats, dogs and ornamental fish. In its previous opinion, the FEEDAP Panel concluded that indigo carmine is safe for cats and dogs at levels up to 250 mg/kg complete feed and for ornamental fish up to 1000 mg/kg complete feed. These conclusions were limited to indigo carmine with a purity of at least 93% colouring matter. For the current assessment, the applicant submitted additional data on the characterisation and on the toxicological profile to support the safety of the additive with the purity of at least 85% colouring matter. Based on the new data submitted, the FEEDAP Panel concludes that indigo carmine (purity of at least 85% colouring matter) is safe for cats and dogs at levels up to 250 mg/kg complete feed and for ornamental fish up to 1000 mg/kg complete feed.
应欧盟委员会要求,欧洲食品安全局(EFSA)被要求就靛蓝胭脂红作为猫、狗和观赏鱼饲料添加剂的安全性提供科学意见。饲料添加剂和动物营养产品(FEEDAP)小组在其先前的意见中得出结论,靛蓝胭脂红在完全饲料中含量高达250毫克/千克时对猫和狗是安全的,在完全饲料中含量高达1000毫克/千克时对观赏鱼是安全的。这些结论仅限于色素含量至少为93%的靛蓝胭脂红。在本次评估中,申请人提交了关于特性描述和毒理学概况的补充数据,以支持色素含量至少为85%的添加剂的安全性。根据提交的新数据,FEEDAP小组得出结论,色素含量至少为85%的靛蓝胭脂红在完全饲料中含量高达250毫克/千克时对猫和狗是安全的,在完全饲料中含量高达1000毫克/千克时对观赏鱼是安全的。
