About this page

This page announces that the genetically modified microbial protease produced using Geobacillus stearothermophilus TP7 strain has passed safety assessment by the Food Safety Commission. Previously reported as lacking safety review under the Food Sanitation Law in November 2022, the product was evaluated and approved on July 4, 2023. As safety has been confirmed, there is no need to halt sales or distribution of foods already containing this additive. Manufacturers must comply with manufacturing standards and obtain confirmation from the regulatory authority upon application.
