Technical Report on the notification of roasted seeds of Dipteryx alata Vogel as a traditional food from a third country pursuant to Article 14 of Regulation (EU) 2015/2283

Abstract

A notification from Coopcerrado (Brazil) has been submitted to the European Commission under Article 14 of Regulation [European Union (EU)] 2015/2283 to place on the market roasted seeds of Dipteryx alata Vogel as a traditional food from a third country (TF). In line with Article 15(2) of that Regulation, EFSA was asked by the European Commission whether there are duly reasoned safety objections to the placing on the market of the TF within the EU. The TF consists of roasted seeds of Dipteryx alata Vogel that, according to the applicant, have been consumed for more than 25 years in Brazil. The TF is proposed to be marketed in the EU as whole roasted seeds, with or without skin. EFSA considers that the available data on the composition and history of use of the TF do not raise safety concerns. Considering the available data, EFSA does not raise safety objections to the placing on the market of the TF (roasted seeds of Dipteryx alata Vogel) within the EU.
