Resumen
The company Herba Ricemills S.L.U. requested authorization to market chia (Salvia hispanica) seeds in sterilized ready to serve meals based on cereal, pseudocereals and/or pulse grains in the Euro- pean Union. This would be an extension of use of the novel food authorized in 2009, 2013 and 2015. The AECOSAN Scientific Committee takes the view that, according to the information provided, there is no indication that consumption of chia (Salvia hispanica) seeds in ready to serve meals based on cereal, pseudocereals and/or pulse grains, under the conditions proposed by the appli- cant, can produce adverse effects on health. The Committee concludes that the novel food pre- sented for assessment meets the criteria for acceptance laid down by Regulation (EC) No 258/97 concerning novel foods and novel food ingredients (UE, 1997a).
