W monografii przedstawiono zagadnienie wprowadzania nowej żywności na rynek unijny. Szczególnym wyzwaniem, przed jakim stają Wspólna Polityka Rolna, rolnictwo i współczesny świat, jest zapewnienie bezpieczeństwa żywnościowego w obliczu rosnącego zapotrzebowania na środki spożywcze. Rozwiązaniem może być wzrost produkcji konwencjonalnej żywności lub poszukiwanie alternatywnych źródeł pożywienia, jak niespożywana dotąd w UE żywność z państw trzecich, efekt nowych sposobów produkcji lub przetwarzania. Są to jednak produkty, których bezpieczeństwo nie zostało potwierdzone doświadczeniem bezpiecznej konsumpcji w UE, dlatego mogą stanowić zagrożenie dla życia i zdrowia konsumentów w UE. Autor analizuje regulacje obowiązujące od 1 stycznia 2018 r., służące utrzymaniu wysokiego poziomu ochrony zdrowia i życia konsumenta, a także otwarciu unijnego rynku na bezpieczne innowacje w sektorze rolno-spożywczym i odpowiada na pytanie, czy i w jakim stopniu regulacje prawne dotyczące wprowadzania do obrotu w UE nowej żywności, w szczególności unijne rozporządzenie nr 2015/2283 i wydane do niego rozporządzenia wykonawcze, chronią zdrowie i życie ludzi, jednocześnie zapewniając swobodny przepływ tego rodzaju żywności w UE oraz ochronę interesów ekonomicznych zarówno konsumenta, jak i podmiotu prowadzącego przedsiębiorstwo spożywcze.

This monograph is one of the first scholarly publications on the subject of the placing of novel foods on the European Union market after 1 January 2018. Its aim is to answer the question of whether and to what extent the regulations governing the placing on the EU market of novel foods, in particular EU Regulation No 2015/2283 and its implementing regulations, protect the health and life of humans, whilst ensuring the free movement of such foods within the EU and protecting the economic interests of both consumers and food business operators. The objective was achieved by means of an analysis of the regulations in force since 1 January 2018, aimed at, in addition to maintaining a high level of protection of consumer health and life, the opening of the EU market to safe innovations in the agri-food sector. The book presents the history of innovation in the food industry in the EU, attempts to analyse the concept of ‘novel food’ and discusses the legal requirements and procedures for placing novel foods on the EU market as well as the principles of innovation responsibility. These considerations enabled the author to draw many interesting conclusions and put forward proposals de lege ferenda.
