Novel food applications: new administrative guidance for applicants

New guidance is available that will help applicants to prepare novel food applications.

The administrative guidance includes a checklist of the data requirements outlined in EFSA’s “Guidance on the preparation and presentation of an application for authorisation of a novel food” and four tables where applicants should summarise the scientific studies referred to in their technical dossier.
