EIT Food Alumni Board invites you to the 3rd Thematic Webinar focusing on Novel Food: Innovation, Sustainability & Regulatory Framework
New kinds of food arrive on our table all the time. Increasing globalisation, ethnic diversity and the search for new sources of nutrients are the key drivers.
Novel Food is defined as food that had not been consumed to a significant degree by humans in the EU before 15 May 1997, when the first Regulation on.
'Novel Food' can be newly developed, innovative food, food produced using new technologies and production processes, as well as food which is or has been traditionally eaten outside of the EU.
The category covers new foods, food from new sources, new substances used in food as well as new ways and technologies for producing food. Examples include oil rich in omega-3 fatty acids from krill as a new source of food, edible insects, or plant sterols as a new substance or nanotechnology as a new way of producing food.
Join this webinar to listen to the three experts in the field of novel food and the regulatory framework!
