The safety of food and feed products is top priority to sustain and improve human health and animal well-being.
In collaboration with the European Commission, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) assesses these products before they can be authorized for the European market. The following product categories are distinguished: food ingredients, feed additives, food contact materials, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), nutrition, and biological hazards.
Authorizations in the context of food and feed require dossiers to be submitted to the competent authority. Comprehensive data is required for the preparation of substance and product dossiers and their assessment in accordance with the relevant regulation is complex. Based on our interdisciplinary, in-depth expertise and many years of experience, we support you in all scientific and regulatory issues. In addition to evaluating the available data, we cooperate with you to develop a tailor-made regulatory strategy, assess potential residues and metabolites of concern, prepare dossiers including risk assessments and expert statements, and submit and defend dossiers.
Our aim is to identify risks to health and the environment and to reduce these.
