EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) · European Union · published 25 Sep 2026

The food enzyme containing endo‐1,3(4)‐β‐glucanase (3‐(1,3;1,4)‐β‐d‐glucan 3(4)‐glucanohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.6), endo‐1,4‐β‐xylanase (4‐β‐d‐xylan xylanohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.8) and cellulase (4‐(1,3;1,4)‐β‐d‐glucan‐4‐glucanohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.4) activities is produced with the non‐genetically modified Mycothermus thermophiloides strain NZYM‐ST 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.
