EU to approve raisin extract as feed seasoning substance

According to the European Food Safety Agency (EFSA), at the request of the European Commission, the European Food Safety Agency's animal feed expert group (FEEDAP) issued opinions on the safety and efficacy of raisin extract as a feed seasoning substance The European Union expert group studied the seeds and skins of vinifera, a wine grape Currently, the European Union has approved the use of flavoring substances such as grape extract from food, without special permission
according to the EU expert group, the raisin extract is safe for all animals (except dogs) according to the addition limit of 100 mg / kg The safe dietary concentration of dogs cannot be determined However, due to incomplete data, the irritation of additives containing raisin extract to skin and respiratory system cannot be concluded As the main component of the additive, anthocyanin rich grape seed extract, is considered as a food flavoring substance, its function in feed will be similar, so it is unnecessary to evaluate its performance.
