ACNFP/SACN sub-group

The ACNFP has established a joint sub-group with the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) to consider approaches to the nutritional assessment of novel foods, including those from genetically modified sources.

The sub-group will review the existing guidelines for the nutritional assessment of novel foods, and consider whether the guidance should be refined to provide applicants with specific details of the nutritional data required to support a novel food application.

It is intended that the resulting advice will be used by:

• the ACNFP in its future evaluations of novel foods;
• applicants making novel applications through the UK;
and
• the Food Standards Agency, which will circulate it to other EU bodies (including the European Food Safety Authority) in order to develop a consistent approach to the nutritional assessment of novel foods.

Further information on the activities of the sub-group can be obtained by contacting:
