Safety and efficacy of a feed additive consisting of an essential oil derived from the flowering aerial parts of Salvia rosmarinus Spenn. (rosemary oil) for use in all animal species (FEFANA asbl)

Abstract

Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of an essential oil from the flowering aerial parts of Salvia rosmarinus Spenn. (rosemary oil) when used as a sensory additive in feed and in water for drinking for all animal species. Methyleugenol ( S. rosmarinus are recognised to flavour food and their function in feed would be essentially the same as that in food, no further demonstration of efficacy was considered necessary.
