Scientific literature reviews are required to support the safety assessment of regulated food and feed products, for example, to gather reports on the pathogenicity of the organism or strain, for the allergenicity assessment or on the history of safe use. Targeted literature reviews are also often needed during the product development phase to guide the development and give preliminary information about the safety of the organism, strain or product type.
