The Food Standards Agency has appointed 4 new members to the Advisory Committee on Novel Foods and Processes. The new members strengthen the Committee’s expertise in microbiology of the gut, toxicology, clinical allergy and food production processes.
The ACNFP is a non-statutory, independent body of scientific experts that advises the FSA on any matters relating to novel foods (including genetically modified foods) and novel processes (including food irradiation).
There are 16 committee members in total. Members are appointed to ensure that a broad spectrum of relevant eminent scientific expertise and knowledge is represented on the committee in order that issues can be examined thoroughly and individual applications can be considered on their merits. The Committee provides independent scientific advice that informs policy in the area of novel foods and GM.
Members have expertise in a wide range of disciplines including genetic modification, nutrition, microbiology, food technology, toxicology and allergenicity. There are also three lay members: two consumer representatives, who provide a valuable insight into consumer concerns; and an ethicist, who advises on ethical issues relating to new foods and processes, including genetically modified foods.
