Date: Available on demand. This is a recording of a live webinar which took place on 3 July 2018.
Overview
Under EU regulations, any food that was not consumed “significantly” prior to May 1997 is considered to be a “novel food”. The category covers new foods, food from new sources, new substances used in food as well as new ways and technologies for producing food. Examples include oil rich in omega-3 fatty acids from krill as a new source of food, phytosterols or plant sterols as a new substance or nanotechnology as a new way of producing food. Traditional food is a subset of novel food and refers to food that is traditionally consumed anywhere outside Europe.
Regulation (EU) 2015/2283 came into effect in January 2018 and introduced a centralised authorisation and assessment procedure for novel foods before they can enter the European market. The scientific risk assessment is undertaken by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) based on dossiers provided by applicants, to ensure consumer safety.
Why should you attend?
This webinar will help you understand when a new food product could be considered a novel food and will discuss the dossier requirements for the scientific risk assessment undertaken by EFSA. The discussion will include the data needed on the compositional, nutritional, toxicological and allergenic properties of the novel food as well as information on respective production processes, and the proposed uses and use levels.
Target audience
- Regulatory affairs managers in the food sector
- Food manufacturers that develop or use novel ingredients
- Business development managers in food companies
- Food suppliers that want to market new ingredients in EU
- Food R&D scientists
- Food company executives
- Applicants who intend to submit a novel food application for evaluation by EFSA
