Nutraveris constituted and submitted for evaluation an application on behalf of Bioplus Life Sciences Pvt. Ltd. for an opinion under Article 3.4. of the novel food Regulation (EC No. 258/97) on the substantial equivalence of BioDHA algal oil to DHA-rich algal oil which was authorised for the EU market to Martek Biosciences Corporation through Commission Decisions 2003/427/EC and 2009/778/EC.
