On 13 May 2022, the Authority published its Technical Report on the notification of nuts of Canarium ovatum Engl.
as a traditional food from a third country 3. In that report, the Authority concluded that the available data on the composition and the history of the requested use of nuts of Canarium ovatum Engl. do not raise safety concerns.
8
The Commission should therefore authorise the placing on the market within the Union of dried nuts of Canarium ovatum Engl. as a traditional food from a third country and update the Union list of novel foods accordingly.
9
In its report, the Authority also noted on the basis of limited published evidence on food allergy related to nuts of Canarium ovatum Engl., that allergic reactions may be expected after the consumption of nuts of Canarium ovatum Engl. In particular, studies showed an in vitro cross-reactivity of nuts of Canarium ovatum Engl. to cashew and walnut.
It is important that information on the presence of foods that may cause allergic reactions is given in a clear manner to enable consumers to make informed choices which are safe for them. Therefore, it is appropriate that nuts of Canarium ovatum Engl. made available to the consumers are appropriately labelled following the requirements of Article 9 of Regulation EU 2015/2283.
10
Dried nuts of Canarium ovatum Engl. should be included as a traditional food from a third country in the Union list of novel foods set out in Implementing Regulation EU 2017/2470. The Annex to Implementing Regulation EU
2017/2470 should therefore be amended accordingly,
