Health Canada's Food Directorate completed a premarket safety assessment of a food additive submission seeking approval for the use of pectin lyase from Aspergillus niger Rung373 in various standardized and unstandardized foods.

Pectinase from other sources is already permitted for use in Canada in various standardized and unstandardized foods at a level consistent with Good Manufacturing Practice. However, the source organism A. niger Rung373 was not a permitted source for any food enzyme in Canada.
