What is a Novel Food?
A Novel Food is defined as a food that had not been consumed to a significant degree by humans in the EU before 15 May 1997, when the first Regulation on Novel Food came into force. Novel just means new.
Novel Foods and G&G
G&G (or anyone) is not permitted to use any ingredients that are considered unapproved Novel Foods in supplements that we create. You can find the Novel Food Catalogue from the European Commission here.
Companies can apply to EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) in the EU or to FSA (Food Standards Agency) in the UK (now we have left the EU) for Novel Food approval. They have to submit a comprehensive dossier with clinical and research data on safety, which is reviewed by a scientific panel. If there are no safety concerns it gets sent to the European Commission for approval as a Novel Food. Often the approval is for that specific product from that specific company. As they spent all the time and money on the dossier they usually get exclusivity, sometimes for a specific time period.
Alternatively, take a look through the list below that we have compiled ourselves, or search a particular ingredient in the search bar.
