Q. Is enzymatic synthesis considered natural for marketing purposes?
This is a marketing-claim question, not a food safety one. Buyers should align supplier substantiation with the destination market's natural-claim guidance (FTC in the US, country guidance in the EU).
Q. Does L-theanine require any pre-market notification in the EU?
L-theanine is treated as a novel food in some EU member states and may require Novel Food evaluation depending on the source and use level. Verify against the EU Novel Food Catalogue and EFSA opinions before launch.
