In this framework, the European Commission is responsible for authorising novel foods but can ask the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to conduct a scientific risk assessment to establish their safety. This chapter provides a brief overview of the European framework on novel foods and on the role of EFSA on risk assessment, with a focus on the possible role of these foods in the food system and in the diet.</p> ER -
