Let's talk about peppermint oil, a powerful stuff that comes from peppermint plants. The European Union asked a group called EFSA to check if it’s safe and good for animals to eat or drink. This group, called FEEDAP, looked at the oil and said that it won’t harm the animals when used in their feed, up to a certain amount. They also said it’s safe in drinking water, as long as animals don’t drink too much of it.

The cool thing about peppermint oil is that it won’t harm people or the environment, even when animals eat it in their feed. But the people who use it need to be careful because it can irritate skin and eyes. It can also bother people who breathe it in or touch it.

Peppermint oil has some amazing properties. It can make animals feel better and even help them eat more. But it’s important to use it right, so it doesn’t cause any problems.

Do you know why peppermint oil is so special? It has chemicals that can fight against bad stuff like bacteria and fungus. This means it can help keep animals healthy. Plus, it can make food taste and smell better, which makes animals want to eat more.

Think about this: If peppermint oil can do all this for animals, maybe it can help humans too! But remember, just because it’s safe for animals doesn’t mean we should eat a lot of it. Everything is best in the right amount.
