The U.K. Food Standards Agency expert advisers on novel foods have made an initial decision in favor of approving phytosterols for use fruit juices, fruit nectars and tomato juice. Coca-Cola Services S.A proposes to add 0.4% of phytosterols to fruit juices, including tomato juice and nectars. The phytosterol ingredient is supplied by Cargill Ltd. and the authorities in Finland have issued an opinion on its acceptability as a novel ingredient in various other foods. In the U.K., the assessment of novel foods is carried out by an independent committee of scientists appointed by the Food Standards Agency, the Advisory Committee on Novel Foods and Processes (ACNFP). Following an initial public consultation period and the discussion of this application at meetings of the ACNFP, the agency has issued a positive initial opinion for this novel food application. This opinion will now be forwarded by the European Commission to other Member States for comment.
