EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract
EFSA developed an updated guidance document on the submission of data for the evaluation of the safety and efficacy of decontaminating substances for the removal of microbial surface contamination of foods of animal origin intended for human consumption (referred to as ‘food’).EFSA Panel on Food Contact Materials (FCM), Claude Lambré, Riccardo Crebelli, Maria de Silva, Konrad Grob, Evgenia Lampi, Maria Rosaria Milana, Marja Pronk, Gilles Rivière, Mario Ščetar, Georgios Theodoridis, Els Van Hoeck, Nadia Waegeneers, Declan Bolton, Sara Bover‐Cid, Joop de Knecht, David M.

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract
The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) process was developed to provide a harmonised safety assessment approach to support EFSA Scientific Panels and Units. The QPS approach assesses the taxonomic identity, body of relevant knowledge and safety concerns of microorganisms intentionally added to the food and feed chain.EFSA Panel on Biological Hazards (BIOHAZ), Ana Allende, Avelino Alvarez‐Ordóñez, Valeria Bortolaia, Sara Bover‐Cid, Alessandra De Cesare, Wietske Dohmen, Laurent Guillier, Liesbeth Jacxsens, Maarten Nauta, Lapo Mughini‐Gras, Jakob Ottoson, Luisa Peixe, Fernando Perez‐Rodriguez, Panagiotis Skandamis, Elisabetta Suffredini, Marianne Chemaly, Pier Sandro Cocconcelli, Pablo Salvador Fernández Escámez, Miguel Prieto Maradona, Amparo Querol, Lolke Sijtsma, Juan Evaristo Suarez, Ingvar Sundh, Fulvio Barizzone, Justine Dastouet, Nadya Doyle, Sandra Correia, Lieve Herman +28 morewiley +1 more sourceUpdate of the list of qualified presumption of safety (QPS) recommended microbiological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA 23: Suitability of taxonomic units notified to EFSA until September 2025
