Notice of Modification to the List of Permitted Food Enzymes to Enable the Use of Maltogenic alpha-Amylase from Bacillus licheniformis HyGe767n2 in Bread, Flour, Whole Wheat Flour and Unstandardized Bakery Products |
| Summary |
Health Canada's Food Directorate completed a premarket safety assessment of a food additive submission seeking authorization for the use of maltogenic alpha-amylase from Bacillus licheniformis HyGe767n2 in bread, flour, whole wheat flour, and unstandardized bakery products.
Maltogenic alpha amylase from other sources is already permitted in these foods. The new source organism, B. licheniformis HyGe767n2, was not a permitted source for any food enzyme in Canada.
The results of the premarket assessment support the safety of maltogenic alpha-amylase from B. licheniformis HyGe767n2 for its requested uses. Consequently, Health Canada has enabled the use of maltogenic alpha-amylase from this source as described in the information document by modifying the List of Permitted Food Enzymes, effective 19 January 2022.
The purpose of this communication is to publically announce the Department's decision in this regard and to provide the appropriate contact information for those wishing to submit an inquiry or new scientific information relevant to the safety of this food enzyme from this new source.
