In Europe, novel food refers to food or food ingredients that were not commonly consumed in the European Union before May 1997. The European Union has established a regulatory framework to ensure the safety and appropriate labelling of these novel foods. To bring a novel food to the EU market, food businesses must submit a comprehensive application to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) or the competent authority of a Member State. The application can be complex for those who have no experience in the EU market.

To help you better understand the EU novel food regulations and applications, ChemLinked invited Mr Cesare Varallo to share his insights. This webinar will equip you with the knowledge and tools you need to navigate the intricate EU novel food regulations and ensure a successful entry into one of the world’s largest and most lucrative markets.

Mr Cesare Varallo, a food lawyer with 10+ years of experience in this field, has a deep understanding of the regulatory landscape and will provide you with practical insights to streamline the authorization process, ensure safety and compliance, and maximize your market potential in the European Union.
