Building robust safety dossiers for plant-derived Novel Foods: lessons from EFSA opinions

This course focuses on the EFSA Guidance on the scientific requirements for applications for the authorisation of novel foods (NFs) under Regulation (EU) 2015/2283. It focuses on NFs of plant origin with particular attention to the following scientific sections:

  • Identity of the Novel Food 
  • Production Process 
  • Compositional Data
  • Nutritional information
  • Toxicology
The course combines theoretical explanations with practical examples from real EFSA scientific opinions. Participants will examine how previous applicants addressed data gaps (or not) and how proactive approaches improved the success and efficiency of dossier evaluations.
