The documents submitted by the company include three different varieties of Lonicera caerulea emphyllocalix, Lonicera caerulea kamtschatica and Lonicera caerulea edulis. In the assessment document, EFSA pointed out that the existing edible history and ingredient data showed that there was no safety problem for three different varieties of Lonicera edulis, and there was no safety objection to the introduction of the berry in the EU market.

　　Super Food Raw Materials

　　The antioxidant content of Lonicera blueberry is about 13 times that of blueberry. It can be used in jam, juice and flavor products. It is a new super food raw material. The Berry has an innovative taste that combines blueberry, blackberry and raspberry flavors. This unique taste provides potential for its application in food processing industry, and also has application value in fresh food.

　　This kind of Berry has a long planting history in Japan, especially in Hokkaido, where the company has long-term supply chain cooperation with local growers. At the same time, Canadian region also has commercial production of this product, some countries in Eastern Europe even between 1980 and 1990 in the cultivation of this berry. At present, the company's planting base is mainly in Poland. The Daxing'an Mountains and Changbai Mountains in Northeast China also contain abundant wild resources of Lonicera edulis.

　　For the European market, this new berry may pose a challenge for blueberries, because it contains more antioxidants than blueberries, even wild blueberries. With the approval of the regulations, it is expected that Britain will consume a lot of berries every year. Demand for berries will continue to rise in Europe, while demand from countries outside Europe, including Japan, will increase. The company currently only offers fresh and frozen blueberry honeysuckle.

　　On January 1, 2018, the European Union began to implement a revised version of the new resource food regulations. The approval process was simpler and more convenient than before, which also provided a market opportunity for a wave of regulatory approval of traditional raw materials, including high-protein cereals from Africa, Fonio and Chuta nuts from Mexico.
