FSANZ reviews new 2'-fucose-based lactose application for use in infant formulas
The Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) issued Notice 319-24, Application A1308, for comments on the use of 2′-fucose-based lactose (2′-FL) produced by genetically modified Escherichia coli in infant formula products.
The Code already permits 2′-FL from other GM sources to be used as a nutritive substance in infant formula products. However, the Code does not currently permit the use of 2′-FL
produced from GM E. coli W containing the gene for alpha-1,2-fucosyltransferase from H. mustelae for that purpose. The applicant has also requested an exclusive use permission under the brand name ‘2′-FL
Kyowa’ for a period of 15 months after gazettal.
