Strong Consensus: All experts agreed that the Roundtable discussion format on defining "bioactive" was effective. The multi-stakeholder approach successfully facilitated balanced discussion across academia, industry, and regulatory science.

Identified Strengths: Experts appreciated hearing diverse perspectives and the complexity of viewpoints presented, with the format effectively highlighting different stakeholder positions.

Areas for Improvement: Several experts suggested enhancements for future discussions:

  • More structured time dedicated to regulatory implications
  • Clearer differentiation between research-use and regulatory-use definitions
  • Additional discussion on micronutrients as bioactive compounds
  • Follow-up meetings to accommodate participant questions and input
  • Inclusion of structured case examples for real-world applicability

While experts viewed the format as a successful first step and useful stage-setting for upcoming workshops, some noted the discussion didn't reach definitive conclusions at the time.

     Future discussions could benefit from more structured time for regulatory implications and clearer differentiation between research-use definitions and regulatory-use definitions of “bioactive.”

    I believe that some micronutrients are bioactive and not enough discussion/information was provided on this point.

    It was good to present the different points of view, which I suppose helps set the stage for the upcoming INSC workshop, but it didn't necessarily seem to "go anywhere" at the time.
