Description
The EFSA Panel on Food Enzymes issued this 2026 safety opinion on bacillolysin, a protein-cutting enzyme from a soil bacterium. It is made by a non-modified Bacillus strain and is planned for use in eight food manufacturing processes.
Because the production strain qualifies for a safety shortcut used for well-known microbes, the panel required no animal toxicity studies beyond allergy checks. Estimated intake in European diets was modest. One match with a known breathing allergen was found, so an allergic reaction through food cannot be fully excluded. Even so, the panel concluded the enzyme raises no safety concern under its intended uses.
