Regulatory aspects of nanotechnology in EU/non-EU countries

Nanotechnology has the potential to innovate the agricultural, feed and food sectors (hereinafter referred to as agri/feed/food). Applications that are marketed already include antimicrobial nanoparticles and active and intelligent food packaging. Applicants applying for market approval have to demonstrate the safe use of such new products without posing undue safety risks to the consumer and the environment.
This paper presents an overview and discusses the state of the art of different regulatory measures for nanomaterials in agri/feed/food, including legislation and guidance for safety assessment in EU and non-EU countries (Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology, October 2015).
