歐盟食品安全局經(jīng)評定認為，2,5-二甲基-3-乙?；绶裕?-acetyl-2,5-dimethylthiophene）具有基因毒性，會破壞DNA以及細胞中的遺傳物質(zhì)，可能有損人體健康，因此應(yīng)當禁止該物質(zhì)添加于食品。
部分原文報道如下：
The European Food Safety Authority （EFSA） published a scientific opinion and press release on 16 May that said: 'The flavouring substance 3-acetyl-2,5-dimethylthiophene is genotoxic （that is, it can damage DNA, the genetic material of cells） and therefore a safety concern for human health. Genotoxic substances should not be intentionally added to the food chain.'
While EFSA did not undertake an exposure assessment, it stated in its press release that 'the possible risk to consumers who may have been exposed to this substance in food is expected to be very small'.
The substance 3-Acetyl-2,5-dimethylthiophene is used to give food a burnt nutty flavour. It is produced by a small number of manufacturers and its overall use is low （total annual use in the EU is reported to be 2.3kg）。
