Feed additives make the bulk of chemicals used in animal production, thus representing a major issue for safety of foods of animal origin. This paper summarizes the approaches currently adopted by the European Food Safety Authority in order to perform risk analysis of feed additives as regards the whole food production chain, thus including target species, consumers, occupational exposure and the environment. Examples considered with their peculiar critical issues are coccidiostats, essential elements, amino acids, and enzymes. Moreover, attention is given to environmental contaminants; in particular feeds can be a major vehicle for human dietary intake of persistent pollutants such as polychlorinated biphenyls and some insecticides. Further examples considered include heavy metals and mycotoxins. Critical issues include toxicological characterization, pathways of feed contamination as well as transfer to animal products.
