Food additives: bovine and/or porcine thrombin

This procedure involves a safety assessment of thrombin derived from cattle and pigs when used as a food additive. It ensures that these substances, which are often used in cheese production, meet strict health and safety standards before being authorized for use in food products.

This affects food manufacturers and producers who use thrombin as a processing aid. It ensures that consumers are protected from potential health risks associated with these specific animal-derived additives.
