Call for comment on phospholipase C as a processing aid

Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) is calling for comment on an application to permit the use of the enzyme phospholipase C as a processing aid.

Phospholipase C (EC 3.1.4.3) is produced using a genetically modified strain of Bacillus licheniformis. The modification involves adding a gene from another bacterium, Bacillus thuringiensis, which enables the production of phospholipase C.

The application seeks approval to use phospholipase C during the refining of oils and fats.

FSANZ’s safety assessment found no public health or safety concerns associated with the proposed use of the enzyme.

Submissions close at 11.59 pm (AEST) on Tuesday, 26 August 2025.
