The Labelling of Nanomaterials under EU Law, with a Particular Focus on France Journal Artikel

Patrick Coppens, Francesco Planchenstainer

European Food and Feed Law Review, Jahrgang 14 (2019), Ausgabe 2, Seite 152 - 159

The use of nanomaterials in foods is one of the emerging areas for innovation that is addressed by EU Food Law. New applications of nanomaterials require pre-market authorisation under the Novel Foods Regulation (EU) 2015/2283 or, in the case of food additives, under Regulation (EC) 1333/2008. Under the labelling provisions (Regulation (EU) 1169/2011) the presence of engineered nanomaterials needs to be indicated in the labelling of foods. These regulations apply in all EU Member States. Recently, however, controversy has arisen, in particular in France, with a seemingly diverging application of these laws and a legal initiative to ban the use of a food additive (E171 – Titanium Dioxide) based on safety concerns because of the presence of nanoparticles. The paper describes the background and provides a legal analysis of the consistency of these developments with EU legal principles. Keywords: EU Commission; France; Labelling; Novel foods; Food additives; Nanomaterials; Precautionary principle; Titanium dioxide.


Integrated Decision-Tree for the Classification of Food Ingredients with Technological Properties Journal Artikel

A Proposal for a EU Regulatory Guide for their Development and use in Food Products

Moisés Chong Sakihara

European Food and Feed Law Review, Jahrgang 13 (2018), Ausgabe 6, Seite 494 - 502

Food ingredients with technological properties can fall into different EU legal categories of food substances under determined situations and conditions. This knowledge becomes relevant for food manufacturers by helping them to avoid non-compliances during the use of these substances in their food products. It is also important for companies producing these ingredients by guiding them on visualising a priori the regulatory characteristics of these substances during the development and, finally, for EU policymakers committed to food innovation in terms of reducing the legal uncertainty around the classification of ingredients in the food sector. The current research proposes an integrated decision-tree depicting this classification.
