Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of a tincture from the leaves or aerial parts of L. (wild thyme tincture) when used as a sensory additive in feed and in water for drinking for all animal species. The product is a ■■■■■ solution, with a dry matter content of approximately 1.0%. The product contains on average 0.083% (w/w) total polyphenols (of which 0.0222% are flavonoids). The Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) concluded that the use of wild thyme tincture is safe at the proposed use level of 500 mg/kg complete feed for ornamental fish. For the other species the calculated safe concentrations in complete feed are: 71 mg/kg for chickens for fattening, 106 mg/kg for laying hens, 96 mg/kg for turkeys for fattening, 154 mg/kg for pigs for fattening, 128 mg/kg for piglets, 187 mg/kg for sows, 321 mg/kg for veal calves, 282 mg/kg for cattle for fattening, sheep/goats and horses, 183 mg/kg for dairy cows, 113 mg/kg for rabbits, 322 mg/kg for salmonids, 338 mg/kg for dogs and 282 mg/kg for cats. These conclusions were extrapolated to other physiologically related species. For any other species, the additive is safe at 71 mg/kg complete feed. No safety concerns were identified for the consumer and the environment from the use of the additive in animal feed. Regarding user safety, the additive under assessment should be considered as irritant to skin and eyes, and as a dermal and respiratory sensitiser. Any exposure is considered a risk. Since the leaves of are recognised to flavour food and their function in feed would be essentially the same as that in food, no further demonstration of efficacy was necessary.
应欧盟委员会要求，欧洲食品安全局（EFSA）被要求就L.叶或地上部分的酊剂（野生百里香酊剂）在所有动物物种的饲料和饮用水中用作感官添加剂时的安全性和有效性发表科学意见。该产品为一种■■■■■溶液，干物质含量约为1.0%。该产品平均含有0.083%（w/w）的总多酚（其中0.0222%为黄酮类化合物）。动物饲料添加剂和产品或物质专家小组（FEEDAP）得出结论，在观赏鱼全价饲料中按建议使用水平500 mg/kg使用野生百里香酊剂是安全的。对于其他物种，全价饲料中计算出的安全浓度为：育肥鸡71 mg/kg，产蛋鸡106 mg/kg，育肥火鸡96 mg/kg，育肥猪154 mg/kg，仔猪128 mg/kg，母猪187 mg/kg，犊牛321 mg/kg，育肥牛、绵羊/山羊和马282 mg/kg，奶牛183 mg/kg，兔子113 mg/kg，鲑鱼322 mg/kg，狗338 mg/kg，猫282 mg/kg。这些结论已外推至其他生理相关物种。对于任何其他物种，该添加剂在全价饲料中71 mg/kg时是安全的。在动物饲料中使用该添加剂对消费者和环境未发现安全问题。关于使用者安全，所评估的添加剂应被视为对皮肤和眼睛有刺激性，以及皮肤和呼吸道致敏剂。任何接触都被视为有风险。由于L.的叶子被认为可用于调味食品，其在饲料中的功能与在食品中的基本相同，因此无需进一步证明其有效性。
