Enzymes - first opinions are published now
EFSA finished the first assessments of food enzymes already in April this year. The publication of the full opinions followed only in the beginning of September. The reason for this delay is based on open questions regarding how to treat confidential data. The opinions now reveal that EFSA is quite reserved and gives in many chapters only a summarized form of the data and a quite general consent. This will build confidence for future applicants. The assessment itself shows that by filing a conscientiously prepared dossier a positive assessment can be expected.

EFSA@10
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) held a scientific conference in Parma, Italy titled “Challenging boundaries in risk assessment – sharing experiences“. Over 700 scientist discussed the achievements of the last decade and the coming challenges in the field of risk assessment.
Besides members of the EFSA and of further international and national authorities, there have also been plenty of scientists form universities, enterprises and industry organizations.
In the future the risk assessment should be more “fit for purpose” and less like marking a tick box. This means a tiered approach and a differentiated look on the exposure of substances. In addition, risk assessment should be taking more into account the perspectives and consequences for the consumers (“bottom up approach”).
