2019年10月10日，欧盟食品安全局（EFSA）发布关于来自第三国的可可果肉作为传统食品的技术报告。

 

　　据了解，此申请由英国公司Nestec York Ltd 提交。经过评估，欧盟食品安全局同意将可可果肉作为传统食品投放欧盟市场。

 

　　部分原文报道如下：

 

　　Following a notification from Nestec York Ltd （UK） submitted to the European Commission under Article 14 of Regulation （EU） 2015/2283 to place on the market the pulp from Theobroma cacao L. （subjected to pasteurization and freezing） as a traditional food （TF） from a third country, 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 unio （EU）。 The approach of EFSA for the evaluation of TF notifications is based on the EFSA guidance for stakeholders on notifications for authorisation of TF and on the principles described in the relevant existing guidance documents from the EFSA Scientific Committee. 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 （i.e. pulp from Theobroma cacao L. ‐ subjected to pasteurization and freezing） within the EU.
