The purpose of this application is to consider whether to permit the use of Alpha-glucosidase enzyme from A Recombinant Strain of Trichoderma reesei as a processing aid.
The purpose of the Application is to include a genetically modified strain of Trichoderma reesei as a permitted source for Endo-1,4 (3) - ß -xylanase (E.C.3.2.1.8)
The purpose of the Application is to permit the use of a new source of beta-galactosidase from a genetically modified strain of Bacillus licheniformis to be used as a processing aid during the production of reduced lactose or lactose free milk and dairy products.
New requirements for the labelling of allergens in food come into force on 25 February 2024. These requirements were developed through FSANZ Proposal P1044 – Plain English Allergen Labelling.
The new requirements include that allergen information is to be declared:
in a specific format and location on food labels, and
using simple, plain English terms in bold font.
The changes will help people find allergen information on food labels more quickly and easily, so they can make informed and safe food choices.
