,"The European Commission has officially authorized potassium magnesium trichloride hexahydrate as a novel food through Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1530, published in the Official Journal of the European Union (L 1530). This new approval amends Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2470, which maintains the Union list of authorized novel foods. Potassium magnesium trichloride hexahydrate, which had not been used in significant quantities in human diets before 15 May 1997, has now cleared the EU’s safety evaluation and can be placed on the European market as a food ingredient. The decision reflects the Commission’s ongoing commitment to align its food safety framework with scientific progress and consumer demand, ensuring that novel ingredients meet rigorous safety and labelling standards before reaching consumers. With this approval, manufacturers gain access to a new mineral compound for potential use in food products, highlighting the EU’s proactive role in regulating innovation in the food sector."
