Pursuant to Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2015/2283, the Commission was to establish, by 1 January 2018, the Union list of novel foods authorised or notified under Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council2.

The Union list of novel foods authorised or notified under Regulation (EC) No 258/97 was established by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/24703.

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/10234 corrected the initial Union list of novel foods established in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2470 by replacing that Annex. In the meantime eight Commission Implementing Regulations (EU) 2018/4605, (EU) 2018/4616, (EU) 2018/4627, (EU) 2018/4698, (EU) 2018/9919, (EU) 2018/101110, (EU) 2018/101811, (EU) 2018/103212 had been adopted authorising placing on the market of novel foods or extending the use of novel foods respectively. Those Implementing Regulations also updated the Union list. However, those novel foods and extensions of the use of novel foods no longer appear in the list, as replaced by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1023.

For reasons of clarity and legal certainty, the Union list of novel foods set out in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2470 should therefore be amended to include those novel foods and extensions of the use of novel foods in the Union list again. Since those novel foods and extensions of the use of novel foods were included in the Union list until the entry into force of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1023 on 13 August 2018, this Regulation should apply as of that date.

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
