The food enzyme containing triacylglycerol lipase (triacylglycerol acylhydrolase; EC 3.1.1.3) is prepared from the pregastric tissues of calves, young goats and lambs by Caglificio Clerici SpA. The food enzyme is intended to be used in the production of cheese. As no concerns arose from the animal source of the food enzyme, from its manufacture and based on the history of safe use and consumption, the Panel considered that toxicological data were not required and no exposure assessment was necessary. A search for the similarity of the amino acid sequence of the food enzyme to known allergens was made and no match was found. The Panel considered that a risk of allergic reactions upon dietary exposure cannot be excluded, but the likelihood is low. Based on the data provided, the Panel concluded that this food enzyme does not give rise to safety concerns under the intended conditions of use.
