FSANZ has assessed an application from DSM Nutritional Products Asia Pacific to amend the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code (the Code) to permit the use of rapeseed protein isolate as a novel food.

Rapeseed protein isolate is intended to be used as a protein source and ingredient in a range of foods. It is intended as a replacement for existing protein sources. The applicant provided typical use levels from 2 to 10% for FSANZ to undertake a more refined risk assessment. The isolate, which is at least 90% protein, also provides desirable functional and sensory properties in food.
