Common authorisation for food additives, enzymes and flavourings

This procedure aims to create a single, streamlined process for approving food additives, enzymes, and flavourings used in the EU. By unifying the authorization rules, the EU seeks to reduce administrative burdens and ensure a consistent safety assessment for substances used in food production.

This will primarily affect food manufacturers and chemical producers. It simplifies how they apply for market access for new ingredients, ensuring all food products meet the same safety standards across the Union.
