經(jīng)過(guò)評(píng)估，專家小組得出結(jié)論，該添加劑以1.5毫克/千克全價(jià)飼料的使用水平對(duì)狗是安全的，以0.2毫克/千克全價(jià)飼料的使用水平對(duì)貓是安全的。由于其在飼料中的功能與在食品中的功能基本相同，因此認(rèn)為沒(méi)有必要進(jìn)一步證明其功效。部分原文報(bào)道如下：

 

　　Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of an essential oil obtained from gum resin of Ferula assa-foetida L. (asafoetida oil), when used as a sensory additive (flavouring) in feed for dogs and cats. The EFSA Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) concluded that the use of asafoetida oil is safe at the proposed conditions of use of 1.5 mg/kg complete feed for dogs and 0.2 mg/kg complete feed for cats. The additive under assessment should be considered as irritant to skin and eyes, and as a dermal and respiratory sensitiser. Since F. assa-foetida and its preparations are recognised to flavour food, and its function in feed would be essentially the same as that in food, no further demonstration of efficacy was considered necessary.
