經過評估，專家小組無法就添加劑對目標物種、消費者、使用者和環境的安全性做出結論。專家小組認為該添加劑能有效地改善飼料和飲用水的風味。部分原文報道如下：

 

　　Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of disodium 5’-inosinate (IMP) produced by fermentation using Corynebacterium statio nis KCCM 80235 as a sensory additive (flavouring compound) in feed and water for drinking for all animal species. The production strain is genetically modified, and it is resistant to streptomycin. No viable cells were detected in the final product. However, uncertainties remained on the genetic basis of the streptomycin resistance and on the possible presence of recombinant DNA from the production strain in the final product. Therefore, the Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) could not co nclude on the safety of the additive for the target species, consumers, users and the environment. Moreover, the FEEDAP Panel reiterated its previous co ncerns on the safety of the use of IMP in water for drinking due to hygienic reasons. The Panel co ncluded that the additive is efficacious to co ntribute to the flavour of feed and water for drinking.
