Food Supplement Classification

In order to determine the class or category of food supplement, you must first determine the responsible health authority.

Food supplements also referred to as health supplements, dietary supplements, or nutraceuticals, are regulated in the EU by Directive 2002/46/EC, which describes food supplements as “foodstuffs the purpose of which is to supplement the normal diet and which are concentrated sources of nutrients or other substances with a nutritional or physiological effect”.

Food supplement classification varies from country to country within the EU. In order to determine the class or category of food supplement, you must first determine the responsible health authority. dicentra’s Food Supplement Product Classification services are tailored according to your specific product and the responsible HA.
