經過評估，專家小組認為該添加劑對目標物種、使用該添加劑的動物產品的消費者和環境是安全的，但無法就添加劑對目標物種的功效作出結論。部分原文報道如下：

 

　　Following a request from the European Commission, the 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 BA-KING? Bacillus velezensis when used as a feed additive for chickens for fattening, turkeys for fattening, chickens reared for laying, turkeys reared for breeding and all avian species for fattening, or rearing to slaughter or point of lay including non-food producing species. The product under assessment is ba sed on viable spores of a strain identified as B.?velezensis, which is co nsidered suitable for the qualified presumption of safety (QPS) approach to safety assessment. The identity of the active agent was established, and it does not harbour acquired antimicrobial resistance genes, lacks toxigenic potential and does not have the capacity to produce aminoglycosides. Following the QPS approach to safety assessment, B. velezensis NITE BP-01844 is presumed safe for the target species, co nsumers of products derived from animals fed the additive and the environment. Since no co ncerns are expected from the other compo nents of the additive, BA-KING? is also co nsidered safe for the target species, co nsumers of products derived from animals fed the additive and the environment. BA-KING? is not irritant to skin but is potentially irritant to eyes. In addition, should be co nsidered a skin and respiratory sensitiser. The Panel is not in the position to co nclude on the efficacy of BA-KING? for the target species.
