FOOD SUPPLEMENTS IN THE EU

Since 2002, the European Union has a specific framework directive for food supplements (Directive 2002/46/EC), giving them a specific status, distinct from other foodstuffs.

On the other hand, as foodstuffs, food supplements are also subject to the general obligations of food law. This involves different parameters like the information communicated to consumers, the hygiene and food safety rules to be respected or the composition of the product. These provisions, whether specific or general, create a specific regulatory context for this sector. 
Moreover, this text being a directive, Member States can also have some specificities, especially with regard to authorised / restricted / forbidden plants. 

Finally, there is increasing attention from health authorities in this sector, as cases of misuse or improper use precautions can have serious health consequences.
