Safety evaluation of an extension of use of the food enzyme containing cellulase, endo-1,3(4)-β-glucanase and endo-1,4-β-xylanase activities from the non-genetically modified Trichoderma reesei strain AR-999

The food enzyme containing cellulase (EC 3.2.1.4), endo‐1,3(4)‐β‐glucanase (EC 3.2.1.6) and endo‐1,4‐β‐xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) activities is produced with the non‐genetically modified Trichoderma reesei strain AR‐999 by AB Enzymes GmbH. The safety of this food enzyme was evaluated previously, and it did not give rise to safety concerns when used in eleven food manufacturing processes. Subsequently, the applicant has requested to extend its use to include one additional process.
