Conclusion
Compared to the same period last year, the number of new food additive applications accepted in the first half of 2024 has increased, and the official review process has significantly accelerated. In the future, companies should be well-prepared in terms of product safety and the technical necessity of their use to fully meet the review standards.
Since the official approval of human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) in China last October, there have been ongoing updates on the acceptance and approval status of popular HMO substances such as 3-FL, 2’-FL, LNT, 3’-SL, 6’-SL, and LNnT. In just the first half of 2024, one 2’-FL was approved again, and five products from different production strains were opened for public comment. LNT, 3’-SL, and 6’-SL also passed the technical review and were released for public comment. It is believed that HMOs will continue to be a focal point in regulatory applications and reviews in the coming years.
Additionally, high-quality sweeteners have garnered significant market attention. The successful approval of enzymatically produced steviol glycosides in China is highly significant for the development of the sugar substitute industry. At the same time, steviol glycosides from fermentation are also in the public consultation phase, with high-quality monomers such as Rebaudioside M and AM currently under review.
