Microorganisms, genetically modified or not, may be used in the food chain either as active agents, biomasses or as production organisms of substances of interest. The placement of such microorganisms or their derived substances/products in the European market may be subject to a premarket authorisation process. The authorisation process requires a risk assessment in order to establish the safety and/or the efficacy of the microorganism(s) when used in the food chain as such, as biomasses or as production strains.
