Project results<\/h3>
The project assessed the feasibility and safety of an ingredient derived from Tenebrio molitor, reviewing the critical points and potential hazards associated with it, as well as the control measures applicable to the process.<\/p>
The species already has several novel food authorisations in the European Union, providing a favourable starting point.<\/p>
The work also confirmed that each new combination of ingredient, processing method and technical specifications must demonstrate its own history of use and undergo an independent assessment. This evidence will help Protiberia anticipate the regulatory requirements applicable to its innovation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
