In their own words

“The organization's mission is to develop and commercialize novel, sustainable food and feed ingredients produced via microbial fermentation using renewable inputs. Our activities relate primarily to EU food law and biotechnology regulation, in particular the authorisation, safety assessment, and regulatory framework for novel foods and novel food ingredients under Regulation (EU) 2015/2283.”

“We also follow EU-level developments concerning food safety risk assessment, sustainable food systems, and industrial biotechnology, insofar as these impact the regulatory requirements, market access, and labelling of fermentation-derived food ingredients within the European Union. Engagement with EU institutions is relevant to ensure that evolving EU legislation and implementing practices are informed by up-to-date scientific evidence and reflect the specific characteristics of fermentation-based food production.”
