 ===== Regulatory Cases and Precedents =====
-!FIXME!
 This chapter documents significant regulatory decisions, EFSA scientific opinions, Commission implementing decisions, and enforcement cases relevant to algae. It is not a comprehensive legal digest; rather it identifies the some practically important rulings and decisions that establish the current regulatory framework and that any serious algae producer or compliance professional should know. Decisions are grouped by application area.

 Where a decision results in a binding measure (e.g. a Commission Implementing Regulation authorising a novel food), the binding measure is the primary reference and is cited in the relevant subject chapter; this chapter provides the regulatory context and reasoning behind key decisions.
-This chapter is the place to list & describe experience in particular cases by invited contributors. Any description of the interplay between EU-level regulation and local implementation is very welcome.

 Notes:
-  * The //Chlamydomonas reinhardtii// Status
+  * __The //Chlamydomonas reinhardtii// Status__: While //Chlamydomonas reinhardtii// is commonly utilized as a laboratory model organism and has seen limited clearances in other jurisdictions like the US FDA, it is not authorized as a novel food ingredient in the EU. The European Commission officially issued an Implementing Decision on September 10, 2025, terminating the evaluation procedure for its authorisation without adding it to the Union list due to unresolved safety documentation bottlenecks.

+  * __The //Galdieria sulphuraria// Status__: //Galdieria sulphuraria// is on the final stretch of the EU pipeline. In March 2026, EFSA published an update establishing a stable Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) and concluding that it did not present safety concerns under defined quantities. It is currently waiting for the European Commission and SCoPAFF to codify its maximum use limits into law before it can officially debut on the market [[https://www.foodingredientsfirst.com/news/givaudan-everzure-galdieria-natural-blue-color.html|Givaudan]], [[https://sagentia.com/blog/natural-colours-food-and-beverage-regulations/|Sagenta]].
