据欧盟食品安全局（EFSA）消息，应欧委会的要求，2月14日欧盟食品安全局就落叶松提取物（花旗松素）作为新资源食品发布意见。
本次评估的新资源食品为富含花旗松素（taxifolin）的落叶松提取物，拟被用于非酒精饮料、酸奶、巧克力糖果。
它是落叶松的水-乙醇提取物，花旗松素含量不低于90%。经过评估，欧盟食品安全局认为，富花旗松素提取物被充分描述，其组分数据与说明不会引发安全风险，也没有遗传毒性风险。
部分原文报道如下：
Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies （NDA） was asked to carry out the additional assessment for taxifolin-rich extract from Dahurian Larch as a food ingredient in the context of Regulation （EC） No 258/97. The novel food （NF） is a taxifolin-rich water–ethanol extract from the wood of the Dahurian Larch and contains a minimum of 90% taxifolin. The Panel considers that the taxifolin-rich extract is sufficiently characterised and that its compositional data and specifications do not raise safety concerns. The NF is intended to be added to non-alcoholic beverages, to yogurt and to chocolate confectionery.
