　　Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Nutrition, Novel Foods and Food Allergens (NDA) was asked to deliver an opinion on Wolffia globosa powder as a novel food (NF) pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283. Wolffia globosa is an aquatic plant, one out of the 38 species of the water lentil family which is composed by five genera (i.e. Spirodela, Landoltia, Lemna, Wolffiella and Wolffia). The NF is produced by cultivation of Wolffia globosa plants under co ntrolled conditions, washing with hot water and drying. The main co nstituents of the NF are protein, fibre and fat. The Panel notes that the co ncentration of trace elements and co ntaminants in the NF is highly dependent on the co nditions of cultivation of the plant and the fertiliser composition. The NF is intended to be used as food ingredient in a variety of food categories and as food supplement. The target population is the general population except for food supplements which are intended to be co nsumed exclusively by adults. The Panel co nsiders that with the exception of co ncerns related to the manganese intake, taking into account the composition of the NF and the proposed co nditions of use, the co nsumption of the NF is not nutritio nally disadvantageous. The subchro nic toxicity study provided with the NF revealed a number of significant findings and the Panel co nsiders the middle dose (6.5 g/kg body weight (bw) per day) as the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL). ba sed on the protein concentration, the Panel co nsiders that the co nsumption of the NF may trigger allergic reactions. The Panel co ncluded that an increase in manganese intake from the NF used as food ingredient or food supplements is of safety co ncern and the safety of the NF cannot be established.
