Food Supplements

Food supplements are defined as foodstuff which are concentrated sources of nutrients (i.e. mineral and vitamins) or other substances with a nutritional or physiological effect. They are marketed in “dose” form (e.g. pills, tablets, capsules, liquids in measured doses) to be included in the normal diet

The European Union regulates Food Supplements through the Directive 2002/46/EC. However, they are considered foodstuff and therefore several additional European legislations will apply, on top of specific national laws. Due to the complexity of the applicable legislative frameworks, guidance of professional regulatory advice is critical.
