May 29, 2018
An updated Guidance has been provided by EFSA regarding the evaluation of risks connected to the use of nanotechnology in food and feed. Areas of importance include novel foods, food contact materials, food/feed additives and pesticides. Due to new scientific evidence, the know-how on the physicochemical properties, exposure and hazards of nanomaterials has expanded. The Guidance incorporates these aspects and provides indications how they should be applied using and the appropriate testing methods.
