据欧盟食品安全局（EFSA）消息，3月1日欧盟食品安全局就专利蓝V作为饲料添加剂用于非产肉动物的安全性与效能发布了意见。
专利蓝V是一种着色剂，仅限用于非产肉动物。专利蓝V的最大使用浓度为250毫克/千克。
欧盟食品安全局认为，专利蓝V的使用说明应该是：专利蓝V的最低浓度为90%,其中的无色母体成分含量不高于1%。
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 Patent Blue V as feed additive for all animal species.
Patent Blue V （E131） is intended to add colour to feedingstuffs. It is applied for use in non food- producing animals only. The assessment is therefore limited to its safety for the target animals and the users and its efficacy.
Patent Blue V is not genotoxic. This conclusion is limited to a Patent Blue V having a minimum purity of 90 % and containing not more than 1 % of leuco base. Patent Blue V is poorly absorbed and has low systemic toxicity.
The safety assessment is based on a Patent Blue V with a specification different from that currently used for the food additive. It is strongly recommended that the specification be adjusted to match that of the product used in the critical genotoxicity study （in vivo comet assay）。 The specification for the feed additive should be: Patent Blue V with a minimum purity of 90 % and containing not more than 1 % of leuco base.
