Safety evaluation of an extension of use of the food enzyme bacillolysin from the non-genetically modified Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain HPN 131

The food enzyme bacillolysin (bacillus metalloendopeptidase, EC 3.4.24.28) is produced with the non‐genetically modified Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain HPN 131 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 seven food manufacturing processes. Subsequently, the applicant has requested to extend its use to include six additional processes. In this assessment, EFSA updated the safety evaluation of this food enzyme when used in a total of thirteen food manufacturing processes.
