Australia
Jan 04, 2021
Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) is calling for comment on an application to allow an already approved enzyme processing aid to be produced from a new genetically modified (GM) source.
FSANZ CEO Mark Booth said the enzyme (subtilisin) is derived from a GM strain of Bacillus licheniformis.
"This microorganism has a long history of safe use and is already approved as a source microorganism in the Food Standards Code.
âIf approved, the enzyme would be used as a processing aid in the production of potable alcohol.
âWe have undertaken a safety assessment and found that there are no health and safety concerns," Mr Booth said.
To have your say, see our call for comment page. Submissions closes at 6pm (Canberra time) 27 January 2021.
