Abstract

The controversial inclusion of traditional food coming from Third Countries in the category of Novel Food, as defined by EU Regulation 258/97, caused a severe economic, social as well as environmental impact, especially for small producers in De- veloping Countries. The paper aims at analyzing these criticalities and the reactions of Third States, also at the WTO level, then focusing on the solutions included in the cur- rent EU Reg. 2015/2283: the European legislator has adopted a specific and simplified authorization procedure for this particular Novel Food’s category in order to assess a correct and proportionate balance between market, sustainable development, food safety and consumers’ protection.
