2020年5月11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）研究小组就添加剂Biacton作为断奶仔猪饲料添加剂的安全性和有效性发表科学意见。
据了解，添加剂Biacton是一种由香肠乳杆菌（Lactobacillus farciminis）CNCM I‐3740活细胞制成的制剂。最小推荐使用水平为1 × 109 CFU/kg全价饲料。部分原文报道如下：
Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA 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 Biacton when used as a feed additive for weaned piglets. Biacton is a preparation of viable cells of Lactobacillus farciminis CNCM I‐3740 intended to be incorporated into feed for weaned piglets at a minimum recommended application level of 1 × 109 CFU/kg complete feed. L. farciminis is a species considered by EFSA to be suitable for the Qualified Presumption of Safety （QPS） approach to safety assessment which requires the identity of the strain to be conclusively established and evidence that it does not show acquired resistance to antibiotics of human and veterinary importance. The strain was found to meet the criteria for the QPS approach to safety assessment and since concerns are not expected from other components of the additive, the additive is presumed safe for all target species, consumers and the environment. Biacton is not irritant to skin, eyes or to the respiratory tract, but should be considered a prespiratory sensitiser. In the absence of data, no conclusions could be drawn on the potential skin sensitisation potential of the additive. No conclusion can be drawn on the efficacy of Biacton for weaned piglets based on the data available.
