Article Synopsis
- The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) checked if a medicine called diclazuril, used for preventing sickness in chickens, is safe for the birds and people eating them.
- They found that it is safe to use on chickens and does what it's supposed to do, but it can irritate skin, eyes, and breathing, though it doesn’t cause allergic reactions.
- They couldn’t figure out if it's safe for the environment yet because they need more information, and they also suggested keeping an eye on if chickens grow resistant to this medicine.
The SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cell line is a standard experimental model of neuronal-like cells used in neuroscience and toxicological research. These cells can be differentiated into mature neurons, most commonly using retinoic acid (RA). Despite differences in characteristics, both undifferentiated and differentiated SH-SY5Y cells are used in research.

- The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) reviewed the coccidiostat salinomycin sodium (Sacox®) for use in rabbits for fattening, finding no safety concerns for the species, consumers, or the environment at the recommended doses.
- They concluded that while salinomycin sodium is safe for consumers at a maximum of 25 mg/kg in feed with a one-day withdrawal period, there is not enough data to fully confirm its safety for rabbits, particularly due to insufficient tolerance studies.
- The additive is effective in managing coccidiosis in rabbits, but there's a note of caution regarding potential inhalation toxicity, skin sensitivity, and the need to monitor for resistance in coccidia strains.
Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of the coccidiostat narasin (Monteban® G100) for chickens for fattening. In a previous opinion, uncertainties remained on the identification and characterisation of the non-genetically modified production strain of the active substance narasin. The Panel could not conclude either on the safety of Monteban® G100 for chickens for fattening or on the efficacy of the additive at the minimum applied concentration.

The additive currently on the market complies with the existing conditions of authorisation. The FEEDAP Panel concluded that Coxidin® remains safe for turkeys for fattening (up to 16 weeks) and extends this conclusion to turkeys reared for breeding (up to 16 weeks).
