                                The EU's Novel Food Regulation mandates that any food not significantly consumed before May 15, 1997, must undergo a rigorous safety assessment before being placed on the market. This critical framework, along with similar systems globally, establishes the rigorous standards that innovative food products must meet to protect consumer health and ensure nutritional value.
