Call for comment on phospholipase C as a processing aid
Call for comment on phospholipase C as a processing aid Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) is calling for comment on an application to permit the use of the enzyme phospholipase C as a processing aid. Phospholipase C (EC 3.1.4.3) is produced using a genetically modified strain of Bacillus licheniformis. The modification involves adding a gene from another bacterium, Bacillus thuringiensis, which enables the production of phospholipase C. The application seeks approval to use phospholipase C during the refining of oils and fats. Our safety assessment found no public health or safety concerns associated with the proposed use of the enzyme. To have your say about this application, visit the FSANZ Consultation Hub. Submissions close at 11:59pm (AEST) Tuesday 26 August 2025. What…

Call for comment on aminopeptidase Y as a processing aid
Call for comment on aminopeptidase Y as a processing aid Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) is calling for comment on an application to permit the use of the enzyme aminopeptidase Y as a processing aid. Aminopeptidase Y (EC 3.4.11.15) is an enzyme made using a fungus called Trichoderma reesei. This fungus has been modified to include a gene from another fungus, Aspergillus clavatus, so it can produce the enzyme. The application seeks approval to use aminopeptidase Y for protein and yeast processing and flavour production. Our safety assessment found no public health or safety concerns associated with the proposed use of the enzyme. To have your say about this application, visit the FSANZ Consultation Hub.
