Food and Dietary Supplements

The European Commission consistently follows the principles of the Food Safety and Health Policy by implementing directives and binding decisions. This aims at ensuring the safety of consumers. Providing the highest quality standards for food and diet supplements significantly reduces the risk of consuming food that is sub-standard, adulterated or contaminated with unauthorized substances used in agriculture.

 

An essential element of the system for providing high quality food and diet supplements is to provide constant supervision based on the reliable results of tests conducted by professional analytical laboratories.
