From Innovative Concept to EU Market Approval

Novel foods intended for the EU market must undergo a rigorous safety evaluation by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). Under Regulation (EU) No 2015/2283, any food not consumed to a significant degree within the EU before 15 May 1997—and falling into the categories specified in the EFSA Guidance on novel foods—requires formal authorization before commercialization.

SAXOCON transforms the complexity of novel food 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 budgets and avoiding redundant studies.
• 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 genotoxicity, systemic toxicity, and analytical results to build a definitive safety narrative.
• Regulatory Risk Analysis:
  Comprehensive gap analysis of existing safety data against the latest EFSA requirements for novel food dossiers.
