Food Enzymes

All new food enzymes to be marketed in the EU are subject to a safety evaluation by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and approval via a Community positive list. Regulation (EC) No 1332/2008 constitutes the legal basis for the authorisation and use of food enzymes in the EU.

EFSA requires the presentation of an enzyme’s toxicological information to carry out a safety evaluation, including assessing its genotoxicity and systemic toxicity. The EFSA Guidance on food enzymes prescribes the process for designing, testing, and documenting the safety of a food enzyme.
