Update of the list of QPS-recommended biological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA 8: Suitability of taxonomic units notified to EFSA until March 2018
Open accessAbstract
The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) was developed to provide a harmonised generic preevaluation procedure to support safety risk assessments of biological agents performed by EFSA's Scientific Panels.The identity, body of knowledge, safety concerns and antimicrobial resistance of valid taxonomic units were assessed.Safety concerns identified for a taxonomic unit are, where possible and reasonable in number, reflected by 'qualifications' which should be assessed at the strain level by the EFSA's Scientific Panels.During the current assessment, no new information was found that would change the previously recommended QPS taxonomic units and their qualifications.The Panel clarified that the qualification 'for production purpose only' implies the absence of viable cells of the production organism in the final product and can also be applied for food and feed products based on microbial biomass.Between September 2017 and March 2018, the QPS notification list was updated with 46 microorganisms from applications for market authorisation.From these, 28 biological agents already had QPS status, 15 were excluded of the QPS exercise from the previous QPS mandate (10 filamentous fungi and one bacteriophage) or from further evaluations within the current mandate (two notifications of Streptomyces spp.and one of Escherichia coli), and one was excluded where confirmatory data for the risk assessment of a plant protection product (PPP) was requested (Pseudomonas sp.).Three taxonomic units were (re)evaluated: Paracoccus carotinifaciens and Paenibacillus lentus had been previously evaluated in 2008 and 2014, respectively, and were now re-evaluated within this mandate, and Yarrowia lipolytica, which was evaluated for the first time.P. carotinifaciens and P. lentus cannot be granted QPS status due to lack of scientific knowledge.Y. lipolytica is recommended for QPS status, but only for production purpose.

Absence of ARG identified by WGS does not imply absence of resistance mechanisms in probiotic lactic acid bacteria, as intrinsic or non-canonical resistance determinants may remain undetected due to database and methodological limitations.
“The absence of ARG identified by WGS does not imply the absence of resistance mechanisms in probiotic lactic acid bacteria, as intrinsic or non-canonical resistance determinants may remain undetected due to database and methodological limitations, highlighting the need for cautious interpretation of safety assessments based on genomic data [132,133,134].”
From Current Concepts in Probiotic Safety and Efficacy (2026) · cites this paper as [134]
Appendix D lists studies on resistance and safety in lactic acid bacteria, but does not report that WGS can miss resistance mechanisms. Searches for WGS, intrinsic resistance, database limitations, and genomic safety assessment found no passage in our copy addressing the claimed detection limits. (LLM, conf=0.76)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredSome consequences of clinical probiotic use have been attributed to poorly planned clinical studies and systematic errors in evaluation of results.
“Some of the consequences of clinical probiotic use have been attributed to poorly planned clinical studies and systematic errors in the evaluation of results [135].”
From Current Concepts in Probiotic Safety and Efficacy (2026) · cites this paper as [135]
The Assessment section on monitoring QPS safety concerns notes that one reported Lactobacillus identification used methods considered unreliable, but it does not attribute consequences of clinical probiotic use to poorly planned studies or systematic errors in evaluating results. Searches for those terms and for clinical-trial design and evaluation bias found no passage making the claimed point. (LLM, conf=0.76)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
