Environmentally speaking, they don&#8217;t fail.<\/p>\n<p>From the toxicity point of view, instead they show some concerns. Why must their presence be declared in detergent label?

FDA (U.S. Food &amp; Drug Administration) found allergic problems (also severe ones) in populations resulting from using those products and it banned their use; furthermore there are many concerning data about papain reproductive toxicity and teratogenicity (toxicity against foetus). Subtilisin, someway similar to papain, in spite of its widespread distribution was very little investigated.
