2026年4月9日，據(jù)歐盟食品安全局（EFSA）消息，應(yīng)歐盟委員會要求，歐盟動物飼料添加劑和產(chǎn)品（FEEDAP）研究小組就蔓越莓提取物（cranberry extract）作為狗和貓飼料添加劑的安全性和有效性發(fā)表科學(xué)意見。

 經(jīng)過評估，專家小組得出結(jié)論，該添加劑以610毫克/千克全價飼料的使用水平對狗是安全的，以155毫克/千克全價飼料的使用水平對貓是安全的。當(dāng)分別以122和155毫克/千克全價飼料添加到飼料中時，該添加劑具有作為狗和貓的感官添加劑(調(diào)味劑、增味劑)的潛力。部分原文報道如下：

Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of a proanthocyanidin-rich dry extract obtained from the fruit of Vaccinium macrocarpon Aiton (cranberry extract) when used as a sensory feed additive for dogs and cats. The additive is not currently authorised for use in feed. The FEEDAP Panel concluded that cranberry extract is safe for dogs at 610 mg/kg complete feed and for cats at 155 mg/kg complete feed. Regarding user safety, the additive is not irritant to skin or eyes but is a potential skin and respiratory sensitiser. Exposure of users by inhalation and dermal routes is considered a risk. The Panel concluded that the additive has the potential to be efficacious as a sensory additive (flavouring agent, palatability enhancer) in dogs and cats when added to feed at 122 and 155 mg/kg complete feed, respectively.
