The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has recently published a call for proposals under the title "Contribution to the Risk Assessment of Novel Foods and Nutrient Sources in the EU (EUBA-EFSA-2024-NIF-01)".
The objective of the call is to establish cooperation with Competent Organisations from the EU Member States (MS), Norway and Iceland (i.e., “MS Competent Organisations” as described in Art. 36 of Regulation (EC) 178/2002) or consortia thereof for the evaluation of Novel Food dossiers submitted by applicants. Successful proponents will have to provide the capacity and expertise relevant for the evaluation of such dossiers. Indicatively, this includes expertise in chemistry, microbiology, biotechnology, food technology, the study of absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME), exposure assessment, and toxicology.
