Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) is reconsidering «novel food» ruling on monk fruit extract
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) is to reconsider a decision that an extract of monk fruit manufactured by a Chinese firm must go through an evaluation process before it can be marketed, the High Court heard.
Guilin GFS Monk Fruit Corporation brought judicial review proceedings in 2022 claiming the FSAI acted «irrational» and «unreasonably» when it classified its monk fruit decoction product as a «novel food» under an EU regulation.
