Resumen
[EN] Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Nutrition, Novel Foods and
Food Allergens (NDA) was asked to deliver an opinion on partially hydrolysed protein from spent barley
(Hordeum vulgare) and rice (Oryza sativa) as a novel food (NF) pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/
2283. The NF is produced by enzymatically treating the pasteurised spent barley and rice residues of
the mash step of beer production. Several mechanical treatment steps of the partial hydrolysate are
employed to obtain the final product. The NF consists mainly of partially-hydrolysed proteins from
spent barley and rice and it is in powdered form. The Panel notes that there are no safety concerns
regarding the stability of the NF if the NF complies with the proposed specification limits during its
entire shelf life of 15 months. The NF is proposed to be used as an ingredient in various foods such as
dairy products, bakery products, pasta, fruit and vegetable spreads, snacks, and single meal
replacements for weight reduction. The target population is the general population. Considering
protein quality aspects, the Panel concludes that the NF is not a suitable protein source for the
nutrition of infants. The Panel notes that, considering the composition of the NF, the proposed
conditions of use and that the NF will not be the sole source of dietary protein, the consumption of the
NF is not nutritionally disadvantageous. Taking into account the production process, the extensive
compositional characterisation of the NF and the history of use of the source the Panel considers that
no toxicological studies are required on the NF. Moreover, the Panel considers that the NF has the
potential capacity to sensitise individuals and to induce allergic reactions in individuals allergic to barley
and rice. With the exception of possible allergenicity, the Panel concludes that the NF is safe under the
proposed uses and use levels.
