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

ABSTRACT: 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. The production strain harbours genes conferring resistance to highly important antimicrobials for human and veterinary medicine. The food enzyme is free from viable cells of the production organism, but not of its DNA. Therefore, the food enzyme poses a risk of promoting the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes. It is intended to be used in milk processing for cheese production and modification of fats and oils by interesterification. Since residual amounts of total organic solids (TOS) are removed in the downstream processing of the oils, dietary exposure was calculated only for th
