What Do You Need to Become Compliant in the UK and EU?
Your brand must meet specific regulatory requirements to sell food supplements in the UK and EU legally.
Requirement | What It Means | Why It Matters |
---|---|---|
Formulation Compliance | Your product must meet UK/EU ingredient regulations, ensuring all ingredients are permitted and within legal limits. | Non-compliant formulas can lead to product rejections, recalls, or regulatory enforcement. |
Label & Packaging Compliance | Labels must meet UK/EU formatting, language, and health claim regulations. Some EU countries have additional requirements. | Incorrect labels can result in fines, product recalls, or being blocked from sale. |
Regulatory Dossier | A complete technical file must be prepared for authorities upon request. This includes ingredient safety data, label compliance, and supporting documentation. | Missing or incomplete documentation can lead to delays, enforcement actions, or removal from the market. |
Pre-Market Notification | Some EU countries (e.g., France, Italy, Spain, Belgium) require supplements to be notified before sale. Even in markets where it's not mandatory, **Amazon and other online marketplaces often require notification proof before allowing sales.** | Failure to notify in required markets—or provide proof to retailers—can result in fines, listing removals, or blocked sales. |
Food Business Operator (FBO) | Non-UK and non-EU brands must appoint an FBO responsible for compliance, product safety, and legal oversight. | Without an FBO, your products cannot be legally placed on the market in the UK or EU. |
