IPA Europe

Did you know that probiotic market is seeing remarkable growth in both food and supplements? More people worldwide turn to probiotics for daily health support, both in the form of food and supplements. The global market growth forecast is about 7,5% for the next 2 years. What about Europe? 📌 In Europe, the retail value of probiotics grew from € 9.7B in 2022 to € 10B in 2023. 📌 Germany, France, the UK, Italy, and Spain represent more than 50% of the European probiotic market, but the European market is hampered by the obsolete interpretation of the European Commission on the use of the term “probiotic” .

🌟 Exciting Times Ahead in Food Safety and Innovation ! 🌟 I am thrilled to share that IPA Europe attended the 2024 EFSA Stakeholder Forum and was represented by Rosanna Pecere and Karen Vokes, Chair of the IPA Europe Regulatory Committee. The Stakeholders were involved in 3 pivotal workshops: Digitalisation in Food Risk Assessment: Exploring how cutting-edge digital tools and technologies can revolutionize the accuracy and efficiency of food risk assessments. Innovation in Food Risk Assessment Methodology: Discussing new scientific techniques and innovative practices that enhance the reliability and relevance of our risk assessments. Science and Innovation for Sustainable Food Systems: Focusing on integrating scientific research and innovative practices to promote the food systems . The Forum was a fantastic opportunity to engage with experts, share insights, and drive forward the future of food safety and sustainability. Looking forward for future discussions and collaborations! #FoodSafety #Sustainability #Innovation #Digitalisation #EFSA #FoodSystems Federico Narducci Selma Abed Bart Degeest Solange Henoud Amy Smith George Paraskevakos

The Joint Statement has been released! #IPAEurope, the European Probiotic Association representing companies involved in the manufacture of probiotic cultures, probiotic foods, and supplements—along with 17 other signatories, is calling for greater ambition and the implementation of the EC Initiative: Boosting Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing in the EU. The Initiative recognizes various challenges and barriers, including the need for a level playing field for market entry and demand.Currently, the lack of a harmonized approach to fermentation technology using food cultures prevents the full realization of its potential to contribute to a sustainable food system. 📢 Urgent action is required to remove bottlenecks that currently hinder commercialization and place European companies at a competitive disadvantage. A key step in addressing these issues is streamlining and aligning regulatory pathways. This is especially true for probiotic microorganisms. Achieving harmonization would significantly reduce burdens for companies and improve the competitiveness of the European industry! #IPA #probiotics #microbiote #beneficialmicroorganisms
