Safety of partially hydrolysed protein from spent barley (Hordeum vulgare) and rice (Oryza sativa) as a novel food pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283

ABSTRACT: Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Nutrition, Novel Foods and Food Allergens (NDA) was asked to deliver an opinion on partially hydrolysed protein from spent barley (Hordeum vulgare) and rice (Oryza sativa) as a novel food (NF) pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283. The NF is produced by enzymatically treating the pasteurised spent barley and rice residues of the mash step of beer production. Several mechanical treatment steps of the partial hydrolysate are employed to obtain the final product. The NF consists mainly of partially‐hydrolysed proteins from spent barley and rice and it is in powdered form. The Panel notes that there are no safety concerns regarding the stability of the NF if the NF complies with the proposed specification limits durin
