Risk assessment and risk management of novel plant foods Det nordiske levnedsmiddelsamarbejdeNordisk Embedsmandskomité for Levnedsmiddelspørgsmål (EK-LIVS) arbejder med principielle levnedsmiddelpolitiske spørgsmål vedrørende kost og ernaering, levnedsmiddeltoksikologi ogmikrobiologi bl.a. i relation til risikovurdering, levnedsmiddelkontrol og -lovgivning. Samarbejdet sigter på beskyttelse af forbrugernes sundhed, faelles udnyttelse af faglige og administrative ressourcer samt nordisk og international udvikling af fagområderne. Nordic co-operationNordic co-operation, one of the oldest and most wide-ranging regional partnerships in the world, involves Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, the Faroe Islands, Greenland and Åland. Cooperation reinforces the sense of Nordic community while respecting national differences and similarities, makes it possible to uphold Nordic interests in the world at large and promotes positive relations between neighbouring peoples.Co-operation was formalised in 1952 when the Nordic Council was set up as a forum for parliamentarians and governments. The Helsinki Treaty of 1962 has formed the framework for Nordic partnership ever since. The Nordic Council of Ministers was set up in 1971 as the formal forum for co-operation between the governments of the Nordic countries and the political leadership of the autonomous areas, i.e. the Faroe Islands, Greenland and Åland. PrefaceThe Nordic Committee of Senior Officials for Food Issues is a body under the Nordic Council of Ministers co-ordinating Nordic work in the field of foods. The Nordic Working Group on Food Toxicology and Risk Evaluation (NNT) has been given the responsibility by the Committee to promote co-operation and co-ordination among Nordic countries in matters relating to food toxicology and risk assessment.Under this working group a project group was funded and established with the aim to discuss different aspects of defining, regulating and evaluating whole foods derived from plants with no or limited documented history of safe consumption and to propose a strategy for the safety assessment of these foods. This work was originally proposed to be part of the OECD Task Force Group for the Safety of Novel Foods and Feeds, with the Nordic project group as the leading "country". The OECD Task Force Group decided not to take this work into its work programme for the moment but use the final Nordic report for its decision on future activities in this area in the Task Force Group. The project group consisted of the following members:Jan Pedersen (Chairman) Definition of terms used in this report• Foods: Foods and food ingredients.• Plants: Conventional plants meaning cultivated plants without use of gene technology, and plants from wild sources.• Plant foods: Products used as food with a plurality of chemical constituents in a complex, holistic interplay ranging from intact fruits and vegetables, over complex botanical products like flour and botanical extracts to oils, fibres and proteins. Distinct from pure chemicals with o...
