The EU regulation 2015/2283 amended the previous regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 and repealed (EC) No 258/97, authorising some novel food for use. Many food products that were not recommended for use can now be used in various food products.

Here are three examples of novel food that the European Union has recently authorised:

1. Algae oil: A novel food ingredient derived from Schizochytrium sp. algae. It is high in omega 3 fatty acids and is intended for use in cereal bars, bakery products and non-alcoholic beverages. However, products containing algae oil must be labelled clearly, indicating the type used.

2. Quorn mycoprotein: A novel food ingredient made from a type of fungus called Fusarium venenatum. It is a popular vegetarian meat substitute used in various food products as a high protein and low fat option.

3. Chia seeds: A novel food ingredient from the Salvia hispanica plant. They are high in fibre, protein, and omega 3 fatty acids and are often used as healthy ingredients in food products such as breakfast cereal, fruit spreads, yoghurt smoothies, and energy bars. However, it must be noted that products containing Chia seeds must be labelled, indicating the type of chia seeds, adding that the maximum intake of these seeds must not exceed 15 grams per day [1].
