The European Food Safety Authority published in August 2021 the “Guidance on technical require-ments for regulated food and feed product applications to establish the presence of small particles including nanoparticles” (Guidance on Particle – Technical Requirements (TR)) and an updated ver-sion of the “Guidance on risk assessment of nanomaterials to be applied in the food and feed chain: human and animal health” (Guidance on Nano – Risk Assessment (RA)).
These guidance documents update the information requirements for applicants that seek market approval or renewal of a product in the areas under EFSA’s remit, such as food/feed additives, food contact materials, novel foods, and pesticide active substances.
