Safety evaluation of the food enzyme papain from the latex of Carica papaya L.

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The food enzyme papain (EC 3.4.22.2) is extracted from the latex of unripe Carica papaya L. by Nagase (Europe) GmbH. It is intended to be used in six food manufacturing processes. The dietary exposure to the food enzyme–total organic solids (TOS) was estimated to be up to 1.112 mg TOS/kg body weight per day. This exposure is up to one order of
