Summary/Abstract: The aim of this publication is to discuss the most important changes in the procedure of introducing innovative food to the food market, referred to as novel food in connection with the Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council (EU) 2015/2283 of 25 November 2015 on novel foods, applicable from 1 January 2018. The new regulation replaced the provisions of the Regulation of the European Parliament and of the European Council (EC) No 258/97 of 27 January 1997 on novel foods and novel food ingredients, in which new food and the rules of introducing it to the food market were defined for the first time. The article discusses both the previous and updated novel food definition, presents differences between novel food and GMOs, then discusses the most important changes in the procedure of introducing innovative food to the food market, including information obligations and novel food labelling, and also presents issues related to the procedure of introducing traditional food from third countries to the food market in EU.
