The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) process was developed to provide a safety assessment approach for microorganisms intended for use in food or feed chains. In the period covered by this Statement, no new information was found that would change the status of previously recommended QPS taxonomic units (TUs). The TUs in the QPS list were updated based on a verification, against their respective authoritative databases, of the correctness of the names and completeness of synonyms. Of 54 microorganisms notified to EFSA between April and September 2024 (33 as feed additives, 17 as food enzymes or additives, 4 as novel foods), 50 were not evaluated because: 12 were filamentous fungi, 1 was and 8 were (all excluded from the QPS evaluation), and 29 were TUs that already have a QPS status. One notification () was already evaluated in a previous Panel Statement. Another notification () was already evaluated in the previous 3-year QPS cycle and was reassessed within this document. Two TUs were notified for the first time and were assessed for a possible QPS status: and . and have been assessed for a possible QPS status in response to internal requests. The following was concluded on the five assessed TUs. can be granted the QPS status based on its close relatedness to several other QPS species. is not recommended for the QPS status due to insufficient information on safety. and are not recommended for the QPS status due to safety concerns. cannot be recommended for the QPS list due to a lack of body of knowledge for its use in the food and feed chain.
合格安全推定（QPS）程序旨在为用于食品或饲料链的微生物提供一种安全评估方法。在本声明涵盖的期间内，未发现会改变先前推荐的QPS分类单元（TU）状态的新信息。根据与各自权威数据库核对名称的正确性和同义词的完整性，对QPS列表中的分类单元进行了更新。在2024年4月至9月期间通知欧洲食品安全局（EFSA）的54种微生物中（33种作为饲料添加剂，17种作为食品酶或添加剂，4种作为新型食品），50种未进行评估，原因如下：12种是丝状真菌，1种是[此处原文缺失信息]，8种是[此处原文缺失信息]（均被排除在QPS评估之外），29种是已经具有QPS状态的分类单元。一份通知（[此处原文缺失信息]）已在之前的专家小组声明中进行了评估。另一份通知（[此处原文缺失信息]）已在之前的三年QPS周期中进行了评估，并在本文件中重新评估。有两个分类单元首次被通知，并被评估是否可能具有QPS状态：[此处原文缺失信息]和[此处原文缺失信息]。[此处原文缺失信息]和[此处原文缺失信息]已应内部请求被评估是否可能具有QPS状态。关于五个被评估的分类单元得出了以下结论。[此处原文缺失信息]因其与其他几种QPS物种密切相关，可被授予QPS状态。由于安全信息不足，不建议授予[此处原文缺失信息]QPS状态。由于安全问题，不建议授予[此处原文缺失信息]和[此处原文缺失信息]QPS状态。由于缺乏在食品和饲料链中使用的知识体系，不建议将[此处原文缺失信息]列入QPS列表。
