22 Oct 2015 --- Ajinomoto has announced that the UK Competent Authority, the Food Standards Agency, granted marketing authorization on September 18, 2015 for dihydrocapsiate (DHC)1 as a novel food ingredient for use in dietary supplements and powdered drinks, and this will be recorded formally in the European Commission List. This paves the way to expand the use of DHC to these categories in the 28 member countries of the European Union (EU), in addition to its use as a food and beverage ingredient, which was authorized in November 2012.
