Novel Foods Changes: What You Need to Know?

摘要

Novel food and food ingredients are foods that have not previously been consumed to a significant degree in the EU before 1997. Novel foods are often emerging ingredients or existing ingredients that are being used in a different way for a new use. Novel ingredients may provide innovative solutions for delivering nutritious products that meet dietary needs or requirements to reformulate.

The main changes were to simplify the authorization procedures and to take technological progress into account.
