Risk and analytical results

hazardObserved
Unauthorised novel food sodium hyaluronate in energy drink from Sweden. Hyaluronic acid is mentioned in the product labelling, but the actual substance is sodium hyaluronate, which is sodium salt of hyaluronic acid. (Information received from the local inspector in Sweden.) Both substances are considered as not novel in food supplements, but novel and thus unauthorized in other food categories such as energy drinks.
