Our activities

1. AMFEP is active in the regulatory field

AMFEP monitors EU activities regarding enzyme products and has developed a positive relationship with the European Commission (e.g. DG GROW, DG Competition and DG SANTE) by providing its expertise. For this purpose, AMFEP supplied the European Commission with a complete list of all enzyme products marketed by AMFEP members and has provided its expertise to the Scientific Co-operation task force on food enzymes (SCOOP).

AMFEP participates in the work of Codex as an observer and has supplied information to the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (“JECFA”).

AMFEP is also an “associated member” of the EFSA Stakeholder Consultative Platform since the end of 2005 and is an accredited stakeholder of ECHA

2. AMFEP has good relations with other associations

AMFEP promotes international co-operation in the enzyme industry thanks to its contacts with the US Enzyme Technical Association (ETA), the Brazilian Association of Industry and Trade of Food Ingredients and Additives (ABIAM), and the Japanese Enzyme Association (JEA).

AMFEP co-operates with the European Food, Animal Feed, Chemicals, Detergents, Pulp & Paper and other Associations (FoodDrinkEurope, EUSFI, FEFANA, FEDIMA, EFEMA, CEFIC, AISE, CEPI, etc.).

3. AMFEP communicates in an open way

AMFEP has prepared industry position statements, brochures, and videos on enzymes, in order to inform the authorities, customers, consumers and other stakeholders in an accurate and scientific manner.
