More and more companies from third countries are looking to export their food supplements for sale in EU countries.
To do so, it is important to keep in mind that the EU has its own regulations on food supplements, harmonized in certain aspects, but each member state also has its own specific regulations, making bringing products to these markets a difficult task, not without multiple obstacles.
As if that weren’t enough, regulatory changes have been rolling in lately, continually banning and restricting plant species, limiting the permitted amounts of vitamins and minerals, classifying multiple ingredients as unauthorized novel foods…
At Supplaffairs we constantly study and monitor ongoing regulatory changes to provide effective, high-quality responses when evaluating dietary supplement formulas. We’ve already helped several companies outside the EU conduct a preliminary analysis of their products before exporting them, in order to avoid unpleasant surprises at European customs.
As we always say, ignorance of the regulations does not excuse you from complying with them, so it is highly advisable to have experts in the field to get things right from the start.
