The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) is considering setting up a special office to help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with applications for claims and approval of regulated products or substances, it said on 20 November. The office and a dedicated section on the EFSA website would be linked to the Authority's Applications helpdesk, which this month notched up a successful year of operation. The helpdesk, which is delivered by a dedicated unit within EFSA, was unveiled in November 2011, and the Authority says, "is a one-stop shop for those with questions on applications for the authorisation of regulated products, substances and processes, as well as the validation of claims about food."
