This review aims to provide an overview of the current European Union (EU) legislation on novel foods and novel foods ingredients. A brief presentation of Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 1997 concerning novel foods and novel food ingredients was attempted: the scope of the Regulation-the foodstuffs that apply/not apply of this Regulation-, the conditions for marketing, the application procedure and the labelling requirements.
