经过评估，专家小组得出结论，该添加剂在授权使用条件下对目标物种、消费者和环境是安全的。部分原文报道如下：

　　Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on red carotenoid-rich Paracoccus carotinifaciens NITE SD 00017 for salmon and trout (category: sensory additives; functio nal group: colourants; substances which when fed to animals add colours to food of animal origin) for the renewal of its authorisation. The applicant provided evidence that the additive complies with the co nditions of the authorisation. The Panel co ncludes that the use of the additive in salmon and trout remains safe for the target species, the co nsumer and the enviro nment under the authorised co nditions of use. When assessing co nsumer exposure to canthaxanthin and ado nirubin at the level of the existing maximum residue limits (MRL) for poultry and the proposed MRL for trout/salmon (5 mg/kg muscle), the exposure of co nsumers exceeds the acceptable daily intake (ADI) in the population classes toddlers and other children. The Panel co nsiders that there is no need to restrict the use of the additive to fish older than 6 mo nths or of more than 50 g. Red carotenoid-rich Paracoccus carotinifaciens NITE SD 00017 is not irritant to the skin, but is irritant to the eyes. It is co nsidered a dermal and respiratory sensitiser and any exposure via skin or the respiratory tract is a risk.
