EFSA rapport nanotechnologie in voedsel en diervoeders 2015

In 2010 EFSA established the Network for Risk Assessment of Nanotechnologies in Food and Feed. The Network recently published its report of Risk Assessment of Nanotechnologies in Food and Feed for 2015.
The Spanish network for nanomaterials in food discussed various improvements in food applications by using nanomaterials, mainly new ways to improve food packaging, the use of nanoparticles of essential oils as antimicrobial agents and controlled release through encapsulation. On-going safety research in Spain is looking at release of nanoparticles from packaging, toxicology for the environment, toxicology of nanoclays and nanosilica (EFSA Highlights, 14 januari 2016).
