EFSA has launched a consultation on its scientific opinion on the risks for animal and human health related to the presence of quinolizidine alkaloids in food and feed.
Quinolizidine alkaloids are naturally occurring compounds that can be present in lupin seeds.
If these alkaloids are not properly removed in a "debittering process", they can trigger poisoning in humans which affects the nervous, cardiovascular and digestive systems.
The closing date for submission of comments is 5 July 2019.
