| For checking whether a specific algal species or product is on the EU novel food authorisation list, the relevant tool is the [[https://food.ec.europa.eu/safety/novel-food/novel-food-catalogue_en|Novel Food Catalogue]] maintained by the Commission's Directorate-General for Health and Food Safety (DG SANTE), which provides a searchable list of foods with an indication of their novel food status. | For checking whether a specific algal species or product is on the EU novel food authorisation list, the relevant informative tool is the [[https://food.ec.europa.eu/safety/novel-food/novel-food-catalogue_en|Novel Food Catalogue]] maintained by the Commission's Directorate-General for Health and Food Safety (DG SANTE), which provides a searchable list of foods with an indication of their novel food status.
