據(jù)歐盟食品安全局（EFSA）消息，3月30日歐盟食品安全局就亞硒酸鈉作為動(dòng)物飼料添加劑的安全性與效能發(fā)布意見。

    歐盟食品安全局稱，硒元素是脊椎動(dòng)物維持代謝功能的一類必需元素。亞硒酸鈉可作為動(dòng)物所需硒安全與有效的來源。如果在限量許可范圍內(nèi)使用，那么對于消費(fèi)者來講是安全的，也不會(huì)對環(huán)境構(gòu)成風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。

    部分原文報(bào)道如下：

    Following a request from the European Commission, the Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed （FEEDAP） was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of selenium compounds as feed additive for all animal species: sodium selenite, based on a dossier submitted by Todini Vital Chemicals S.P.A.

    Selenium is a trace element that is essential for vertebrates and is involved in a series of vital metabolic functions （e.g. prevention of oxidative stress, proper thyroid function, maintenance of cellular redox status, immunocompetence, detoxification of heavy metals and xenobiotics）。
