The NF is produced by enzymatically treating the pasteurised spent barley and rice residues ofthe mash step of beer production. Several mechanical treatment steps of the partial hydrolysate areemployed to obtain the final product. The NF consists mainly of partially-hydrolysed proteins fromspent barley and rice and it is in powdered form. The Panel notes that there are no safety concernsregarding the stability of the NF if the NF complies with the proposed specification limits during itsentire shelf life of 15 months. The NF is proposed to be used as an ingredient in various foods such asdairy products, bakery products, pasta, fruit and vegetable spreads, snacks, and single mealreplacements for weight reduction. The target population is the general population. Consideringprotein quality aspects, the Panel concludes that the NF is not a suitable protein source for thenutrition of infants. The Panel notes that, considering the composition of the NF, the proposedconditions of use and that the NF will not be the sole source of dietary protein, the consumption of theNF is not nutritionally disadvantageous. Taking into account the production process, the extensivecompositional characterisation of the NF and the history of use of the source the Panel considers thatno toxicological studies are required on the NF. Moreover, the Panel considers that the NF has thepotential capacity to sensitise individuals and to induce allergic reactions in individuals allergic to barleyand rice. With the exception of possible allergenicity, the Panel concludes that the NF is safe under theproposed uses and use levels.
