    2023年1月12日，据欧盟食品安全局（EFSA）消息，欧盟营养、新型食品和食物过敏源（NDA）研究小组就甘蓝型油菜种子（whole seeds of oilseed rape (Brassica napus L emend. Metzg.) ）作为新型食品的安全性发表科学意见。

经过评估，专家小组得出结论，在建议的使用条件下，甘蓝型油菜种子作为新型食品的安全性尚未确定。部分原文报道如下：

Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Nutrition, Novel Foods and Food Allergens (NDA) was asked to deliver an opinion on whole seeds of oilseed rape as a novel food (NF) pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283. The NF consists of seeds of oilseed rape, in particular double low white flowering varieties of Brassica napus (oilseed rape Brassica napus L. emend. Metzg). The NF"s oilseed rape is produced following drying, cleaning and storage procedures traditionally used for oilseed rape in oil production. The NF is proposed to be used as an ingredient in ‘Bread and rolls with special ingredients added’ and ‘Gluten free bread’. The target population is the general population. The highest daily intake of the NF was estimated for young children as 92.6 mg/kg body weight (bw) per day. The Panel notes that intakes of the NF can result in considerably increased levels of glucosinolates consumption as compared to intakes of glucosinolates from background diets. The Panel asked the applicant for additional studies to support the safety of the NF, but these were not provided. The Panel concludes that the safety of whole seeds of oilseed rape under the proposed conditions of use has not been established.
