Requirements for the Placing on the Market of Novel Foods
Before novel foods can be placed on the market, they must go through a notification or authorisation procedure. Applications are to be submitted to the Federal Institute for Consumer Protection and Food Safety (BVL). (cf. Novel Foods Regulation).
If the characteristics of the novel foods differ from those of conventional products, the consumers must be informed of this by means of corresponding labelling.
The products covered by the scope of the Novel Foods Regulation may only be placed on the market if, within the framework of the notification or authorisation procedure, it has been proved that they do not
- present a danger for the consumer,
- mislead the consumer or
- differ from the convention products which they are intended to replace to such an extent that their normal consumption would be nutritionally disadvantageous for the consumer.
