Having consulted the European Food Safety Authority,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 89/398/EEC concerns foodstuffs for particular nutritional uses. The specific provisions applicable to certain groups of foods for particular nutritional uses are laid down by specific Directives.
(2) Commission Directive 91/321/EEC of 14 May 1991 on infant formulae and follow-on formulae (2) is a specific Directive adopted pursuant to Directive 89/398/EEC. Directive 91/321/EEC lays down compositional requirements for infant formulae.
(3) The Commission received a application for the placing on the market of an innovative infant formula based on hydrolysates of whey protein derived from cows’ milk with a protein content below the minimum of 0,56 g protein/100 kJ (2,25 g protein/100 kcal), as referred to in point 2.2 of Annex I to Directive 91/321/EEC.
(4) On 5 October 2005, the European Food Safety Authority delivered its opinion (3). That opinion stated that infant formula, based on hydrolysates of whey protein derived from cows’ milk with a protein content of 0,47 g/100 kJ (1,9 g/100 kcal), is safe and suitable for use as the sole source of nutrition of infants.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 21 October 2009
concerning the extension of uses of algal oil from the micro-algae Ulkenia sp. as a novel food ingredient under Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council
(notified under document C(2009) 7932)
(Only the English text is authentic)
(2009/777/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 1997 concerning novel foods and novel food ingredients (1), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 4 November 2004 the company Lonza Ltd (formerly Nutrinova) made a request to the competent authorities of Germany for an extension of the uses as novel food ingredient of the oil from the micro algae Ulkenia sp.
(2) On 9 February 2005 the competent food assessment body of Germany issued its initial assessment report. In that report it came to the conclusion that the extension of uses of the oil from the micro-algae Ulkenia sp. might bear the risk that intakes of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) would increase in an unacceptable manner.
(3) The Commission forwarded the initial assessment report to all Member States on 21 April 2005.
(4) Within the 60-day period laid down in Article 6(4) of Regulation (EC) No 258/97 reasoned objections to the marketing of the product were raised in accordance with that provision.
(5) In their objections Member States raised concerns about elevated intake levels of omega-3 fatty acids and in particular DHA (docosahexaenoic acid).
(6) However, the main source of omega-3 fatty acids is fish-oil. Today, in the foods of the categories for which the addition of oil from the micro-algae Ulkenia sp. was requested omega-3 fatty acids can be provided either from fish oil or alternatively from the micro algae Ulkenia sp.
(7) Therefore it is not expected that the use of oil from micro-algae in the food groups mentioned in the Annex will lead to an unacceptable additional increase of the overall intake of omega-3 fatty acids.
(8) The oil from the micro-algae Ulkenia sp. complies with the criteria laid down in Article 3(1) of the Regulation (EC) No 258/97.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Oil from the micro-algae Ulkenia sp. as specified in Annex I may be placed on the market in the Community as a novel food ingredient for the uses and at the maximum levels as listed in Annex II.
The designation ‘oil from the micro-algae Ulkenia sp.’ shall be displayed in the list of ingredients of the foodstuffs containing it.
This Decision is addressed to Lonza Ltd, Muenchensteinerstrasse 38, CH – 4002 Basel.
