Scientific Opinion on the update of the list of QPS‐recommended biological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA (2017–2019) [PDF]
EFSA Journal, 2020 The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) was developed to provide a safety pre‐assessment within EFSA for microorganisms. Strains belonging to QPS taxonomic units (TUs) still require an assessment based on a specific data package, but QPS status ...

Safety evaluation of the food enzyme subtilisin from the genetically modified Bacillus licheniformis strain NZYM‐PD [PDF]
EFSA JAbstract The food enzyme subtilisin (EC 3.4.21.62) is produced with the genetically modified Bacillus licheniformis strain NZYM‐PD by Novozymes A/S. The production strain met the requirements for the Qualified Presumption of Safety (QPS) approach. The food enzyme is considered free from viable cells of the production strain and its DNA.
