Leading EU food lawyer Katia Merten-Lentz joined us to discuss novel foods, innovation, the type of foods being developed, and how they are regulated. Katia founded Food Law Science & Partners in 2021. The firm specializes in food safety and food innovation.

We talked about:

• the origins of “novel foods” and what they are;
• different approaches to food regulation;
• the EU’s more open stance on innovation since 2018;
• the UK approach since Brexit;
• the process of authorizing novel foods.
