The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has released a searchable
database of botanicals that contain naturally occurring substances
of potential concern to human health. The compendium is intended
for use as a safety assessment tool for food and dietary supplement
manufacturers. The compendium will reportedly be expanded to include
non-European botanical species and is expected to be finalized in early
2017. See EFSA News Release, July 5, 2016.
