Description
This European Commission opportunity, administered through the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), supports the process leading to scientific opinions on the safety of already authorised food additives. It sits within the EU Bodies and Agencies programme for EFSA and seeks contributions from competent organisations to EFSA’s assessment work under Regulation (EU) No 257/2010.
The scope covers additives subject to re-evaluation or follow-up assessment under that regulation. The focus is therefore on supporting scientific consideration of additives already approved for use, rather than assessing new additives for initial authorisation. The call’s topic identifier is EUBA-EFSA-2027-FIP-01.
