Novel food authorisation
The transition to a more sustainable food system requires innovation. Many innovative companies are developing a wide range of new sustainable food products. We support these companies in bringing innovative products on the market by making sure these products comply to EU regulations. Companies are navigated through the entire process of the novel food procedure. For investors we conduct second opinions and due diligence checks. Furthermore, we help with novel food authorisations in non-EU countries like UK, Singapore and the US. Our Food Compliance team consists of experts in the field of food technology, food safety, toxicology, laboratory analyses, nutrition and health, intake assessments, legislation and food quality management.
