''Important'': Additives are not toxic or harmful based on levels approved for their use in either pet foods or human foods. All additives have to be assessed on safety and registered prior to use. Expert panels at EFSA ([http://www.efsa.europa.eu European Food Safety Authority]) for example, are carefully evaluating the safety and efficacy of additives as part of the authorization process. ADI (Acceptable Daily Intake) levels are derived from animal testing, which provides safe levels for daily long-term consumption. | ''Important'': Additives are not toxic or harmful based on levels approved for their use in either pet foods or human foods.
