Valtioneuvoston selvitys ehdotuksesta Euroopan parlamentin ja neuvoston asetukseksi uuselintarvikkeista

This report concerns a proposal for an EU regulation on novel foods. Novel foods are foods that have not been consumed to a significant degree by humans in the EU before 15 May 1997. The regulation aims to ensure a high level of protection for human health and consumer interests. The regulation will affect food business operators and consumers across the EU. It sets out rules for the placing on the market of novel foods and updates the authorisation process to ensure safety.
