Tenkte det kunne være en ide å få en vurdering av digital historikk knyttet til EFSA, tidligere utfall vs. behandlingen av søknaden fra XP på godkjenning av ny metode (fra skog, ikke dagens metode), samt hvilke tidspunkt EFSA typisk har sluppet sine konklusjoner.
Dette da mens vi venter på våre venner i EFSA.
Her er svaret jeg fikk fra AI:

I am talking about applications that have met all requests for additional information. The application is about method based on extraction from wood rather than chilli

For applications that have met all the requirements for additional information and are moving towards final approval by EFSA, particularly involving capsaicin extracted from sources like wood instead of chili, the likelihood of rejection at the final stage is generally low. However, even at this advanced stage, the application can still be declined if new safety concerns arise or if the scientific evidence is insufficient to conclusively demonstrate safety and efficacy under novel extraction methods.
While EFSA has approved various capsaicin-based products, including synthetic or analog versions like phenylcapsaicin, the final step often includes public consultation and legal regulation publication(

)(
). In some cases, delays in the regulatory publication process or unexpected technical issues could hinder immediate approval. Nonetheless, outright rejection after satisfying all data requests is rare unless there are newly identified risks during the final review(

Typically last 5 years, at what time at the end of the year has there been published approvals from EFSA

EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) typically publishes approvals and evaluations throughout the year, but there is a notable increase in the release of final opinions and decisions towards the end of the calendar year. This pattern aligns with their annual reporting cycle and regulatory timelines.
For the last few years, December has frequently seen an uptick in finalized approvals, reflecting the conclusion of deliberations and assessments initiated earlier in the year. These often coincide with the closure of open consultations and the push to meet year-end reporting deadlines, as outlined in their annual activity summaries(

European Food Safety Authority
).
Additionally, the timing is influenced by EFSA’s internal strategy and commitment to transparency and efficiency, with efforts focused on meeting regulatory targets set by EU institutions(
).
So, if you are tracking a specific application, it’s a good idea to monitor EFSA’s updates closely toward the final months of the year.

When looking at the last ten years, at what date / week in december has approvals been published?

When analyzing EFSA’s pattern of publications over the last decade, approvals have frequently been published in December, especially toward the end of the month. Although specific days can vary slightly, it is common to see approvals and scientific opinions released during the final two weeks of the year. EFSA typically follows a structured process, so significant announcements and updates regarding novel foods, feed additives, or food contact materials may happen during this period as they close their yearly cycles.
While there is no strict, predictable “release day,” December publications often peak from mid-December onward. For example, past years have seen several final publications around weeks 50-52, making it a strategic time to expect decisions to be finalized before the year’s end(

Du sa:
Has there been issued approvals in november?
ChatGPT sa:
ChatGPT
Yes, EFSA has issued approvals in November in previous years. While December often sees a concentration of finalized opinions and approvals, November also serves as a significant month for concluding assessments. EFSA operates throughout the year, and publications, including approvals for food additives, novel foods, and other regulated products, can occur in November.
For instance, decisions related to food safety assessments or novel foods are periodically published around mid-to-late November, depending on the workflow and deadlines for that year(

Du sa:
so it is fair to say a 30 / 70 possibility for thos months?
ChatGPT sa:
ChatGPT
Yes, based on historical trends, it would be reasonable to estimate a 30/70 likelihood for EFSA approvals being issued in November and December, respectively. While EFSA publishes throughout the year, the bulk of final approvals—especially for novel foods and regulated products—tends to be concentrated in December. November, however, still sees a fair share of these publications, though less frequently than the end-of-year push seen in December(
European Food Safety Authority
)(

Så da “vet” vi følgende:
EFSA slipper konklusjoner i november (30% sannsynlig), og desember (70% sannsynlig)
I XP sitt tilfelle er det ikke et nytt produkt, men en søknad om annen og mer miljøvennlig / rimeligere metode. Dette er noe EFSA historisk sett sjeldent har gitt avslag på.
Oppsummert kan en ut fra historikk / statistikk da anta at det er en overveiende sannsynlighet for en positiv konklusjon, og at denne i så fall mest sannsynlig blir publisert i desember.
er som alltid kun en kommentar, og ikke et investeringsråd.
