Description
An EFSA panel of experts gives a scientific opinion on marjoram oil as a feed additive for all animal species, in work from 2025. The European Commission asked for the view. The oil comes from the leaves of the marjoram plant and is used to add flavor to feed and to drinking water.
The panel judged that use of the oil is very unlikely to harm long lived and breeding animals. For short lived animals it raised no safety concern at the stated levels. The opinion weighs both safety and how well the additive works. Such views guide whether a feed additive may be sold in Europe.
