Product innovation obtained by means of new processes or novel raw materials or ingredients is not a recent event. The consumer today has access to a large array of products from which he may compose a nutritionally balanced diet with no inherent questions regarding food safety or wholesomeness. The controversial opinions of the consumer with regard to certain new technologies applied to food should not be confounded with the possible existence of a related unacceptable risk of the corresponding products. Scientific knowledge, from which such technologies are the result, provides a solid basis for the establishment of food safety. The principle of risk assessment should be applied by the manufacturer whenever innovative technologies are introduced in the creation of new food products.
通过新工艺或新型原材料或成分实现的产品创新并非新鲜事。如今消费者可以获得大量产品，从中可以组成营养均衡的饮食，而不存在食品安全或健康方面的固有问题。消费者对某些应用于食品的新技术的争议性观点，不应与相应产品可能存在的相关不可接受风险相混淆。这些技术所基于的科学知识为食品安全的确立提供了坚实基础。每当在新食品产品的生产中引入创新技术时，制造商都应应用风险评估原则。
