It amends Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 and repeals the earlier Regulation (EC) No 258/97.\n\nPet-food relevance: a protein (e.g., an insect species or a fermented/single-cell protein) marketed as a pet-food ingredient in the EU must have a authorised novel-food status under this regulation (or fall under the feed-law framework, Reg (EC) 183/2005 / processed-animal-protein rules). The per-species insect authorisations (e.g., Tenebrio molitor, Acheta domesticus, Hermetia illucens) are issued as implementing regulations under 2015/2283 — see `novel_protein_eu_insect_species_2025_1377`.\n\nSource: `pdf-raw/novel-protein/eu_novel_food_2015_2283.html` (EUR-Lex Regulation (EU) 2015/2283, first-hand).\n\n## Claims (verified C1 substrings of source_file)\n- `Regulation (EU) 2015/2283 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 25 November 2015 on novel foods`\n- `amending Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011`\n- `repealing Regulation (EC) No 258/97`\n","sources":["EU Regulation — Regulation (EU) 2015/2283 on novel foods (retrieved 2026-08-09)"],"source":{"authority":"EU Regulation","title":"Regulation (EU) 2015/2283 on novel foods","url":"https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:32015R2283","retrieved":"2026-08-09","ref":"Reg (EU) 2025/1377","doc_type":"official PDF","source_document":"Regulation (EU) 2015/2283 of the European Parliament and of the Council on novel foods","verification_file":"pdf-raw/novel-protein/eu_novel_food_2015_2283.html"},"source_document":"Regulation (EU) 2015/2283 of the European Parliament and of the Council on novel foods","source_file":"pdf-raw/novel-protein/eu_novel_food_2015_2283.html","trust":{"authority_tier":"ungraded","fidelity":"verbatim","license":"public_domain","display_grade":"pending"},"tokens_estimated":220,"generated_at":null,"tip":"Use /api/v1/topics to discover more topics. /api/v1/nutrient for precise single-point queries. /api/v1/cross_compare for 2-3 standard comparisons."}
