Maltogenic alpha-amylase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae LALL-M+ (ICS code: 67.220.20)

Modification to the List of permitted food enzymes to authorize the use of maltogenic alpha-amylase from a new source. Language(s): English and French. Number of pages:

Health Canada's Food and Nutrition Directorate completed a premarket safety assessment of a food additive submission seeking authorization for the use of maltogenic alpha-amylase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae LALL-M+ in the manufacture of bread, flour, whole wheat flour, and unstandardized bakery products.

The results of the premarket assessment support the safety of maltogenic alpha-amylase from S. cerevisiae LALL-M+ for its requested uses. Consequently, Health Canada has authorized the use of maltogenic alpha-amylase from S. cerevisiae LALL-M+ as described in the information document above by modifying the List of permitted food enzymes, effective 6 September 2024. The purpose of the information document is to publicly 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 additive.
