European food law is complex and never static with changes in regulations and directives constantly in flux. In any case of conflict with national food law enforcement, Community law is supreme. The supremacy of European law has wide reaching consequences (positive & negative) when it comes to achieving product (composition) and marketing (label, print and broadcast) compliance at national and community level.
The ability to successfully navigate such regulations guarantees that your marketing and product development achieves the required standards to allow free movement throughout the EU.
With the recent developments in Community legislation the ability to move food products around the EU has become an increasingly transparent process. Despite this transparency, experience of interacting with member states facilitate the approval of products requiring registration (e.g. foods for special medical purposes) and national pre-notification i.e. Ireland, Germany and Denmark.
Through our unique contacts within enforcement agencies and national experts can guide companies through the various national notification and registration procedures for different food categories. Additionally we can compile the necessary dossiers for marketing your food products in different Member States. This dossier will vary based on national technical rules from the submission of a product label to an elaborated dossier substantiating the safety and stability of the ingredients as well as the nutritional and physiological effects of the final product.
Nutrisciences help improve the quality of your dossier, increasing its chance of acceptance by national and community authorities. Of equal importance is ensuring the message is one your consumer understands and accepts.
