Advisory Committee on Novel Foods and Processes (ACNFP) - UK - The Advisory Committee on Novel Foods and Processes (ACNFP) is an non-statutory, independent body of scientific experts that advises the Food Standards Agency on matters relating to novel foods (including genetically modified foods) and novel processes (including food irradiation). The committee carries out safety assessments of any novel food or process submitted for approval under the EC Novel Food Regulation. The reports of these evaluations and the minutes of the committee meetings are published, and an Annual Report is issued each year summarizing the work of the committee and listing the members and any interests that they might have.
