This article analyzes the timelines of 292 novel food (NF) applications submitted to EFSA between 2018 and 2024 under Regulation (EU) 2015/2283. The average duration from submission to publication was 2.56 ± 1.19 years, with significant variability, and delays due to suitability checks and additional data requests. Improved guidelines and pre-submission support could streamline the process, fostering innovation and timely market access for NFs.
