FAQs
What qualifies as a novel food? How do I get marketing approval in EU?
Novel foods are those that have not been consumed to a significant degree by humans in the EU before May 1997.
They can be newly developed, produced using new technologies, or derived from non-traditional sources. To gain approval, novel food status must be established, and a novel food application must be submitted to EFSA. The application includes safety data, composition, and analytical/production data, and proposed uses and history of use of the novel food. EFSA conducts the safety evaluation and authorizes the products.
