The application is a substantial equivalent of an Astaxanthin-Rich Extract of Haematococcus pluvialis algae (AstaSuper) with the existing Astaxanthin products.
The Federal Office of Consumer Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has received the application and will look over the dossier over the next few days.
Fenchem intends to market AAstaSuper (5%) in the EU for use in dietary supplements. AstaSuper is an oleoresin of the common green algae Haematococcus pluvialis, extracted from the dried algal biomass with supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2).
