Application A1128 - Food derived from reduced Acrylamide Potential & Browning Potato Line E12

Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) has assessed an application made by SPS International Inc seeking permission for food derived from potato line E12, the tubers of which are genetically modified to show less browning when they are bruised, cut or damaged (referred to as blackspot bruising) and to produce less acrylamide when they are cooked at high temperatures. On 19 August 2016, FSANZ sought submissions on a draft variation to Schedule 26 and published an associated report. FSANZ received 15 submissions. FSANZ approved the draft variation on 6 December 2016. The Australia and New Zealand Ministerial Forum on Food Regulation (Forum) was notified of FSANZ’s decision on 12 December 2016
