食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊 2020年11月19日,據(jù)歐盟食品安全局(EFSA)消息,歐盟營養(yǎng)、新型食品和食物過敏原(NDA)研究小組就乳糖-N-新四糖(lacto‐N‐neotetraose)作為新型食品的安全性發(fā)表科學(xué)意見。
據(jù)了解,乳糖-N-新四糖是由大腸桿菌BL21的衍生菌株生產(chǎn)的。經(jīng)過評(píng)估,專家小組得出結(jié)論,在提議的使用條件下,乳糖-N-新四糖作為新型食品是安全性的。部分原文報(bào)道如下:
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 the change in the production process and specifications of lacto‐N‐neotetraose (LNnT) as a novel food (NF) pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283. The NF is mainly composed of the human‐identical milk oligosaccharide (HiMO) LNnT but also contains lactose, lacto‐N‐triose II (LNT II), para‐lacto‐N‐neo‐hexaose (para‐LNnH) and other related carbohydrates. The NF is produced by fermentation with two genetically modified strains of Escherichia coliBL21. LNnT when chemically synthesised or produced by microbial fermentation using another E. coli strain (K‐12) is already authorised and included in the EU list of NFs. This application is limited to a change in the manufacturing process and specifications while target population, uses and use levels and consequently the anticipated intake do not change. The information provided on the manufacturing process, including the absence of DNA from the producing microorganisms, composition, identity and specifications of the NF do not raise safety concerns. Particularly, the proposed changes in the specifications are limited to a slightly higher ash content and limits for the presence of yeast and moulds, while specifications for methanol and LNnT fructose isomer have been removed. Food supplements are not intended to be used if other foods with the added NF or breast milk for young children are consumed on the same day. The Panel concludes that lacto‐N‐neotetraose (LNnT) as a NF when produced by fermentation with two genetically modified strains of E. coliBL21 is safe under the proposed conditions of use.
