Authorisations & Dossiers
A new ingredient, manufacturing process or intended use may require additional evidence or an application procedure. Before dossier preparation begins, the appropriate route must therefore be established. Support combines technical documentation and project planning with specialist scientific and legal input.
Status & Procedural Requirements
The first step is to assess whether the intended use is already covered, requires clarification of status or calls for an application. Existing evidence, data gaps and possible alternatives are brought together. The resulting work plan identifies specialist contributions, the work involved and dependencies. This allows the regulatory route to be aligned with the development budget and project plan before extensive documentation is commissioned.
Novel Foods
Compile the history of consumption, substance identity, manufacturing process and intended use; review existing entries and their conditions
Prepare technical documentation for status clarification, new applications or amendments; coordinate specialist dossier and safety assessments
Food Additives, Enzymes & Flavourings
Review regulatory status, specifications, technical function and conditions of use
Work with specialist partners on the procedural route for new substances or uses, taking account of national and transitional provisions
Nutrients & Other Substances
Classify vitamin and mineral sources and other substances with a nutritional or physiological effect according to product category and use
Organise documentation for required additions to authorised lists or other procedures; coordinate specialist assessments of safety, bioavailability and suitability
Substances for Organic Production
For additives and processing aids used in organic foods, the requirements for the intended use are assessed. Where an addition or amendment to the relevant lists is required, technical documentation is prepared with specialist partners and the route through the competent authorities is coordinated.
New Health Claims
A new health claim requires a different approach from the use of an already authorised claim. For an application, the proposed claim, its relationship to the product and the available scientific evidence are brought together. Specialist evidence assessment, dossier planning and questions arising during the procedure are coordinated with the partners involved.
Documentation & Procedural Support
I prepare technical descriptions, manufacturing process information and product specifications, and consolidate the contributions from specialist partners. Submission, communication with authorities and requests for additional information are supported within the agreed scope. Responsibilities and current document versions remain traceable throughout the project.
What You Can Expect
Initially, you receive a substantiated assessment of the procedural requirements and a plan for further work. If subsequently commissioned, the work produces technical documentation and coordinated dossier contributions. Scientific assessment and decisions by the authorities follow the relevant procedure.
