Strategic Safety Evaluations for Global Market Access

Food additives and flavorings are essential for defining the sensory and functional characteristics of modern food products. However, securing authorization requires meeting the stringent safety standards set by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). Under current EU frameworks, manufacturers must provide comprehensive toxicological data—including genotoxicity and systemic toxicity assessments—to prove that these substances pose no risk to consumer health.

SAXOCON transforms the complexity of additive and flavoring regulations into a clear commercial advantage. We provide the strategic oversight and technical expertise required to secure market access, delivering results through:

• Targeted Test Strategies:
  Developing scientific justifications and test plans that satisfy EFSA requirements while optimizing research budgets.
• Study Monitoring:
  Identifying appropriate laboratories and providing active monitoring of protocols to ensure data quality and compliance with OECD Test Guidelines.
• Toxicological Risk Assessment:
  Expert evaluation of metabolic, sub-chronic, and genetic toxicity data to build a definitive safety narrative.
• Regulatory Risk Analysis:
  Comprehensive gap analysis of existing dossiers against the latest EFSA Guidance for additives and flavoring substances.
