2022年1月19日，欧盟食品安全局就食品酶过氧化氢酶（catalase）的安全性评价发布意见。
据了解，这种食品酶来自猪肝，旨在用于广泛的食品加工。
经过评估，专家小组得出结论，该食品酶可能会对健康造成风险。部分原文报道如下：
The food enzyme catalase (EC 1.11.1.6) is obtained from porcine liver by Laboratorios Arroyo S.A. It is intended to be used in a broad range of food processes. The Panel noted that the manufacturing process involved the use of a solvent not permitted in the production of food ingredients which include food enzymes. In addition, the evidence provided showed that the manufacturing process could not be guaranteed to inactivate viruses originating from the starting material, including the human zoonotic pathogen Hepatitis E virus. Consequently, the Panel concluded that the use of catalase extracted from porcine liver may present a health risk.
