According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the Official Journal of the European Union, in the second quarter of 2024, the EFSA published assessment results for three Novel Foods (NF), including one new NF application, modification of one already authorized NF, and notification on one new traditional food from a third country.

In addition, the EU approved nine NF in the second quarter of 2024, including amendments to the specifications and conditions of use of three already authorized NF.

This article provides a summary of the EU EFSA Novel Food application and approval status for the second quarter of 2024, for the reference of businesses.
