Un aliment est aussi considéré nouveau lorsqu'un changement majeur survient dans le procédé utilisé pour sa fabrication, sa préparation, sa conservation ou son emballage. Ce changement, selon l'expérience du fabricant ou la théorie généralement admise, fait que l'aliment modifié n'est plus dans les limites de variations naturelles reconnues pour cet aliment en ce qui a trait : 1) à sa composition, à sa structure, à sa valeur nutritionnelle ou à ses effets physiologiques; 2) à la manière dont l'aliment est métabolisé par le corps humain; 3) à son innocuité en général, à sa microbiologie ou à sa chimie. Le changement est aussi qualifié de majeur lorsqu'il en résulte une modification génétique qui présente des caractéristiques nouvelles ou modifiées n'ayant pas été observées dans ces aliments ou qui est produite par des organismes qui présentent des caractéristiques nouvelles ou modifiées. 3, record 1, French, - aliment%20nouveau
