FAQs
Supplement product developers must understand market and target requirements early in the development stage to avoid rework. FoodChain ID offers Supplements R&D Insight software that evaluates ingredient regulatory status, usage and health claims. Organizations may also benefit from supplements consulting services when evaluating formulation strategies and regulatory requirements.
In the European Union (EU), a novel food (NF) is defined as any food that was not consumed to a significant degree by humans within the EU before May 15, 1997. The regulation of NFs, primarily under Regulation (EU) 2015/2283, aims to ensure the safety of new food products before they enter the market. The novel foods application process requires technical expertise. FoodChain ID provides novel food application support to ensure applications meet all the EFSA and European Commission regulatory requirements. Companies preparing submissions for European markets can benefit from early regulatory planning and assessment.
In the United States, supplement claims include structure/function claims, general well-being claims and nutrient-deficiency claims. The European Commission determines permitted nutrition claims and authorized and non-authorized health claims. FoodChain ID experts work in the United States, Europe and Asia to guide clients when evaluating the market complexity of claim regulations. Organizations can also leverage regulatory and scientific affairs consulting to help assess claim substantiation and compliance requirements across markets, including the United States.
FoodChain ID is a member of the American Herbal Products Association, the Council for Responsible Nutrition and the United Natural Products Alliance.
