Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) is calling for comment on an application to allow a new processing aid derived from a genetically modified (GM) source.
FSANZ's CEO Dr Sandra Cuthbert said the application seeks approval to permit use of the enzyme alpha-amylase from a GM strain of Bacillus licheniformis.
“FSANZ's safety assessment found no health or safety concerns for Australian and New Zealand consumers," Dr Cuthbert said.
“If approved, the enzyme will be permitted for use as a processing aid in brewing, potable alcohol production and starch processing."
Guidance on how to make a submission is provided on the call for comment page on the FSANZ website.
Submissions close 6pm (Canberra time) 28 July 2022.
