Start by gathering all necessary scientific data, including studies on the additive’s safety, usage, and benefits.
Food additives are essential ingredients that improve the safety, freshness, taste, and appearance of food and drinks. When introducing a new food additive in the European Union (EU), you must obtain approval from the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). The EFSA Food Additive Application is the official pathway to gain this approval, ensuring that the additive is safe for consumers in the EU.
Submitting an EFSA Food Additive Application is required for the following scenarios:
Start by gathering all necessary scientific data, including studies on the additive’s safety, usage, and benefits.
Prepare a comprehensive application that includes the collected data, detailed descriptions, and all required documentation.
Submit the completed application to EFSA for review.
EFSA experts evaluate the application, focusing on the safety and efficacy of the additive based on the provided scientific evidence.
EFSA conducts an in-depth risk assessment to evaluate any potential health risks.
EFSA makes a recommendation to the European Commission, which then decides on the approval of the food additive.
