Safety evaluation of an extension of use of the food enzyme endo-1,3(4)-β-glucanase from the non-genetically modified Rasamsonia composticola strain 427-FS

The food enzyme endo‐1,3(4)‐β‐glucanase (3‐(1,3; 1,4)‐β‐D‐glucan 3(4)‐glucanohydrolase; EC 3.2.1.6) is produced with the non‐genetically modified Rasamsonia composticola strain 427‐FS by Kerry Ingredients & Flavours Ltd. The safety of this food enzyme was evaluated previously, and it did not give rise to safety concerns when used in six food manufacturing processes. Subsequently, the applicant has requested to extend its use to include two additional processes.
