Description
The EFSA Panel on Food Enzymes judged the safety of a fat-splitting food enzyme made by a modified fungus in a 2025 opinion. Food makers use triacylglycerol lipase to process fats in products like baked goods and dairy flavors. The enzyme comes from a genetically modified Aspergillus oryzae strain, a fungus with a long history in food fermentation.
The panel reviewed the strain, the production process, and exposure estimates for consumers. Safety opinions like this one are the gate through which new food enzymes reach the European market. The document shows regulators how the whole chain, from gene edits to dietary intake, is checked before a processing aid is cleared for daily use in common foods.
