All food and beverage products sold in the EU are required to present essential information that helps the end consumer make informed choices while shopping. If you plan to manufacture, import or sell food in the EU, find out what your responsibilities are regarding labelling:

Food supplements are concentrated sources of nutrients or other substances with a nutritional or physiological effect, whose purpose is to supplement a normal diet. Whether you manufacture, sell or import food supplements, you need to ensure that the product complies with EU rules.
