　　 2025年5月8日，据欧盟食品安全局（EFSA）消息，应欧盟委员会要求，欧盟动物饲料添加剂和产品（FEEDAP）研究小组就蛭石（vermiculite）作为所有家禽和观赏鸟类、所有猪、马、兔、骆驼、宠物和其他非食用动物饲料添加剂的安全性和有效性发表科学意见。
　　部分原文报道如下：

　　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 vermiculite as a technological feed additive for all poultry and ornamental birds, all porcine species, equines, leporids, camelids, pets and other non-food-producing animals. The FEEDAP Panel concluded that vermiculite is considered safe at 10,000 mg/kg complete feed for the use in feed for chickens for fattening and reared for laying/breeding and laying hens, and at 5000 mg/kg complete feed for piglets and pigs for fattening. No conclusion can be drawn on the safety of the product for ornamental birds, equines, leporids, camelids, pets and other non-food-producing animals. The Panel concluded that the use of vermiculite is safe for consumer and the environment. The additive is considered a skin and respiratory sensitiser. Inhalation and dermal exposure are considered a risk. Due to the lack of data, the Panel could not conclude on the potential of the additive to be an eye irritant. The FEEDAP Panel concluded that vermiculite is efficacious as anticaking agent in feed, when used at 10,000 mg/kg complete feed.
