Risk and analytical results

hazardObserved
As tonka beans (Dipteryx odorata) are currently not authorised as a novel food under Regulation (EC) No 2015/2283, the placing on the market of tonka beans as food is not permitted. The sale happens on a German web shop, therefore this information is sent to the German authority for further action.
