AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This regulation authorises NapiFeryn BioTech Sp. z o.o. to place defatted rapeseed powder (formerly called rapeseed protein-fibre concentrate) on the EU market as a novel food. The product is authorised for use as a food ingredient in various products for the general population, in foods for special medical purposes, and in food supplements for individuals aged 10 and above. EFSA concluded the novel food is safe provided that persons over 10 years do not consume both foods containing the powder and supplements containing it on the same day. A maximum intake of 10 g/day applies to food supplements. The authorisation grants five years of data protection to the applicant from 15 March 2026. Mandatory labelling is required to warn consumers about the combined intake restriction and to inform mustard-allergic individuals due to potential cross-reactivity.
