10:10 AM EST, 11/11/2026 (MT Newswires) -- The General Court of the European Union ruled in favor of the European Commission in refusing the renewal of authorizations for three smoke flavoring products marketed by Irish food ingredients company Kerry (KRZ.IR, KYGA.L). The court fully dismissed Kerry's attempt to reverse the Commission's refusal to renew the authorizations, saying the duty to prove a product's safety for human consumption rests on the applicant, rather than on the EU regulatory body, according to a ruling released Wednesday. The Commission refused to renew the authorizations in late July 2024 after the European Food Safety Authority identified toxicity concerns with certain components of the affected products. Kerry did not immediately respond to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
