NF: Novel Food.

^(a)Calculated from highest values from ranges presented in Tables 6 and 7, assuming a 75% protein content in the NF (Table 4, NF Specifications). *The applicant proposes specifications for protein content ≥ 75.0%. This could result in higher protein intakes.*

^(b)Lowest values from ranges presented in Table 12 of EFSA NDA Panel (2012). Intakes up to twice the PRI are considered safe for adults (EFSA NDA Panel, 2012).

^(c)Referred as ‘toddlers’ in the EFSA food consumption comprehensive database (EFSA, 2011).

^(d)Includes elderly, very elderly, pregnant and lactating women.
