EC Proposal May Slash Approval Times for Novel Foods

March 1, 2008: 12:00 AM EST
Novel foods may be approved for use in the European Union within a year of application rather than the current three years if proposals currently under consideration are accepted. The novel-foods regulation requires authorization for foods and ingredients not present in the European Union's 27 Member States before May 1997. Under the revised proposal it would be sufficient to demonstrate a history of safe use in the country of origin. New foods and ingredients would no longer have to be first submitted to individual member states but would go straight to the European Food Safety Authority. This revision alone could slash average processing times to one year. Other areas of the proposal include codifying more transparent novel foods and ingredients criteria.
