(6) It should also be clarified that a food is to be considered as novel when a production technology which was not previously used for foodthe production of foods to be marketed and consumed in the Union is applied to that food. In particular, emerging technologies in breeding and food production processes which have an impact on food, and thus might have an impact on food safety, should be covered by this Regulation. Novel food should therefore include foods derived from animals produced by non-traditional breeding techniques and from their offspring, foods derived from plants produced by non-traditional breeding techniques, foods produced by new production processes which might have an impact on food, and foods containing or consisting of engineered nanomaterials. Foods derived from new plant varieties or animal breeds produced by traditional breeding techniques should not be considered as novel foods. Furthermore, it should be clarified that foods from third countries which are novel in the Union can be considered as traditional only when they are derived from primary production as defined in Regulation (EC) No 178/2002, whether they are processed or unprocessed (e.g. fruit, jam, fruit juice). However, foods thus obtained should neither include foods produced from animals or plants to which a non-traditional breeding technique was applied or foods produced from the offspring of such animals, nor foods to which a new production process is applied.
