Amendment to labelling requirements for the novel food partially hydrolysed protein
European Union
Jul 31, 2024
With implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2046 of 29 July 2024, the Commission amended Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2470 as regards the specific labelling requirements for the novel food partially hydrolysed protein from spent barley (Hordeum vulgare) and rice (Oryza sativa).
The original labelling requirement referred to ‘Partially hydrolysed protein from spent barley and rice’. The applicant considers that the change of the designation is necessary because the word ‘partially’ is not a well-defined term, in particular to the average consumer, who will not know to what extent the protein is hydrolysed, especially as compared to other plant proteins. The applicant further indicates that the word ‘spent’ is not used for other authorised novel proteins which are processed in a similar manner, and therefore considers that this may create confusion if utilised for this novel food. Furthermore, the applicant also indicates that when barley and rice feedstocks are processed, the first step is to remove the starch which is the same as the process used for any other plant proteins.
The information provided in the application gives sufficient grounds to establish that the changes to the specific labelling requirements of the novel food are in accordance with the conditions of Article 12 of Regulation (EU) 2015/2283 and should be approved.
