据了解，这种食品酶是由abiasa从刺菜蓟的雌蕊中提取的，旨在用于奶酪生产中的牛奶加工。

根据所提供的数据，评估小组得出结论，该食品酶在预期的使用条件下不会引起安全问题。部分原文报道如下：

the food enzyme phytepsin (ec 3.4.23.40) is extracted from the pistils of the cardoon cynara cardunculus l. by abiasa. it is intended to be used in milk processing for cheese production. as no concerns arose from the source of the food enzyme, from its manufacture, and based on the history of safe use and consumption, the panel considered that toxicological data and the estimation of dietary exposure were not required. the panel considered that allergic reactions to this phytepsin cannot be excluded in individuals allergic to this plant. however, the likelihood of allergic reactions to the phytepsin from c. cardunculus l. is expected not to exceed the likelihood of allergic reactions to cardoon. as the prevalence of allergic reactions to cardoon is low, also the likelihood of such reaction to occur to the food enzyme is low. based on the data provided, the panel concluded that this food enzyme does not give rise to safety concerns under the intended conditions of use.
