Safety evaluation of an extension of use of the food enzyme pullulanase from the genetically modified Bacillus licheniformis strain NZYM-LU
The food enzyme pullulanase (pullulan 6‐α‐glucanohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.41) is produced with the genetically modified Bacillus licheniformis strain NZYM‐LU by Novozymes A/S. The safety of this food enzyme was evaluated previously, and it did not give rise to safety concerns when used in two food manufacturing processes. Subsequently, the applicant has requested to extend its use to include three additional processes. In this assessment, EFSA updated the safety evaluation of this food enzyme when used in a total of five food manufacturing processes.
