EFSA announces call for expressions of interest in advising SMEs on novel foods
European Union
Mar 14, 2025
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) is launching a call for expressions of interest from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the area of novel foods, who are interested in receiving EFSA’s advice on the application requirements for novel food authorisation in the EU market.
This initiative aims to raise awareness of and facilitate SME access to the General Pre-Submission Advice (GPSA) service. This service can be requested at any time before the submission of an application. However, this call focuses on two key stages that may be particularly relevant for SMEs with limited or no experience in preparing and submitting a novel food application:
- Early development stage, even before initiating the studies that will be part of the application.
- Final preparation stages, when most of the information that will be included in the application is available.
