Industrial activity

Intended food use
  • Cereal based distilled alcoholic beverages
  • Protein processing
 Exposure level The Panel accepted the evidence provided as sufficient to conclude that the residual amounts of food enzyme–TOS in the distilled alcohol is negligible (EFSA CEP Panel, 2023). Consequently, a dietary exposure was not calculated.
 
Intended use level 50.0 Usage details

The food enzyme is intended to be used in the processing of grains and other cereals for the production of distilled alcohol.
