(5)The novel food ‘Calcium L-Methylfolate’ was authorised under certain conditions of use by the Irish competent authority in January 2008 under the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 258/97, on the basis of a favourable opinion on the safety of the novel food by the European Food Safety Authoritynote. The novel food was erroneously not included in the initial Union list. It is therefore appropriate that ‘Calcium L-Methylfolate’ is added to the Union list of authorised novel foods, taking also into account that ‘Calcium L-Methylfolate’ was authorised as a source of folate in infant formula, follow-on formula, processed cereal-based food and baby food by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/571note.
