Description
The EFSA Panel on Food Enzymes gave a safety opinion in two thousand twenty-six on a food enzyme mix made by a non-modified Aspergillus strain. The mix carries three protein-cutting activities and is meant for fifteen food processes. The panel checked whether the enzyme leaves living cells, how much people would eat, and whether it harms genes or body systems.
Estimated intake in Europe was low, and a ninety-day rat study found no harm at the highest dose tested, giving a huge safety margin. Gene tests raised no concern. Matches to known allergens were found, so allergy risk cannot be ruled out. On the data provided, the panel judged the enzyme safe for its intended uses.
