Systematic Reviews for Food Safety, Novel Food Authorisation and Health Claims
In the food sector, systematic reviews are essential for safety assessment, health claims substantiation and regulatory authorisation. Puraite delivers EFSA-aligned evidence synthesis with full traceability for European and international regulatory submissions.

Food safety and nutrition regulation demands comprehensive, reproducible evidence synthesis.
Novel Food Authorisation
Regulation (EU) 2015/2283 requires applicants to systematically compile all available safety, allergenicity and nutritional data when seeking authorisation for novel foods or novel food ingredients. EFSA expects comprehensive, reproducible literature review methodology in applications.
Health Claims Substantiation
Under Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 (EU Health Claims Regulation), food and supplement companies must substantiate health claims with systematic reviews of the totality of available evidence. EFSA's NDA Panel evaluates the completeness and methodology of the submitted evidence synthesis.
Food Additive Re-Evaluation
EFSA's ongoing re-evaluation programme for food additives authorised before 2009 (under Regulation (EU) No 257/2010) requires systematic literature review to reassess safety in light of current evidence.
Pesticide Residues and Contaminants
Systematic evidence synthesis supports maximum residue level (MRL) assessments, dietary exposure modelling and risk characterisation for pesticide residues and food contaminants under Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.
