Abstract Following a notification from Luigi Lavazza SpA, submitted to the European Commission under Article 14 of Regulation (EU) 2015/2283 to place on the market dried cherry pulp from Coffea arabica L. and Coffea canephora Pierre ex A. Froehner as a traditional food from a third country (TF), and in line with Article 15(2) of that Regulation, EFSA was asked by the European Commission whether there are duly reasoned safety objections to the placing on the market of the TF within the European Union. The TF, which consists of dried cherry pulp from Coffea arabica L. and Coffea canephora Pierre ex A. Froehner, has been consumed as infusions, either unflavoured or flavoured by addition of spices, for more than 25 years in Yemen and Ethiopia. The TF is intended to be marketed in the EU as an ingredient for infusions. EFSA considers that the available data on composition and history of use of the TF do not raise safety concerns. Considering the available data, EFSA does not raise safety objections to the placing on the market of the requested TF (dried cherry pulp from Coffea arabica L. and Coffea canephora Pierre ex A. Froehner) within the EU.
