FAQ
It covers eight checkpoints between formulation and market: quality clauses in your manufacturing contract, EU and UK standards, ingredient technical and quality review, country-specific composition analysis, labeling review, technical file constitution, notification dossier preparation and quality control at manufacture.
Quality clauses make your specifications part of the contract with your manufacturer, so ingredient sourcing, formulation and manufacturing conditions are contractually enforceable rather than only agreed informally.
We review the technical data sheet, safety data sheet and certificate of analysis provided by your ingredient supplier for every raw material in your formula.
We assess the quality criteria defined for each ingredient, including microbiology, heavy metals, pesticides, solvent residues, GMOs, BSE, allergens, PAHs, dioxins, mycotoxins, irradiation etc …,against the specifications and applicable standards.
We review the regulatory status of every active ingredient and additive in your formula, along with their authorized maximum doses, against the rules of each country where you plan to sell.
We check the mandatory information required under the Food Information to Consumers (FIC) Regulation and Directive 2002/46/EC, review any voluntary claims such as health claims, and validate the final label before it is printed.
The technical file gathers the essential information that characterizes your food supplement, including composition, specifications and supporting documentation. It must be ready to present in the event of an inspection or control by the authorities.
Yes. We prepare the notification dossier and manage exchanges with the competent authority on your behalf so your food supplement can be marketed.
At the end of each production run, we check that the finished product complies with the specifications defined for your food supplement before it is released to the market.
