When it comes to supplements, safety and trust are top priorities. But how can you be sure what you’re taking is both safe and effective?
In Belgium, supplements are strictly regulated under the European Union’s General Food Law (Regulation (EC) No 178/2002). This means they must meet rigorous safety standards, and any health claims must be backed by scientific evidence.
The Federal Agency for the Safety of the Food Chain (FASFC) oversees the enforcement of these rules in Belgium, ensuring that every supplement on the market is safe for consumers and properly labeled.
Key Regulations for Supplements:
- Safety First: Supplements must not contain harmful substances or levels of ingredients that could pose a risk to health.
- Transparent Labeling: All products must clearly list ingredients, nutritional information, and any potential allergens.
- No Misleading Claims: Health claims must be scientifically validated and approved by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).
Thanks to these regulations, you can feel confident that the supplements you choose are both safe and reliable.
