Revised safety evaluation of the food enzyme triacylglycerol lipase from the non-genetically modified Burkholderia stagnalis strain PL266-QLM

The food enzyme triacylglycerol lipase (triacylglycerol acylhydrolase EC 3.1.1.3) is produced with the non‐genetically modified Burkholderia stagnalis strain PL266‐QLM by Meito Sangyo Co., Ltd. In a previous evaluation, the Panel had concluded that this food enzyme posed a risk of promoting the spread of antimicrobial resistance genes. As a follow‐up, the applicant submitted a new application for this enzyme intended to be used in three food manufacturing processes.
