The new Regulation on Novel Food came into force on 1 January 2018 bringing significant improvements and changes to the novel food authorisation procedure.
It includes an expanded definition for novel food to account for innovation and technology advances in the food sector, a centralised EU-wide authorisation system of novel foods and of traditional foods from third countries, a list of all authorised novel foods in the EU, and data protection provisions for the applicants.
