EAS assessment report undertaken for DG SANCO, European Commission: the use of substances with a nutritional or physiological effect other than vitamins and minerals in food supplements, March 2007.

The European Commission was required to develop a report on the use of nutrients other than vitamins and minerals as specified in art. 4.8 of the EU Food Supplement Directive by July 2007.

To facilitate the development of this report, the European Commission engaged EAS to undertake a study on the regulation of substances with a nutritional or physiological effect other than vitamins and minerals in food supplements. The study focuses on the national regulatory and non-regulatory approaches of the 27 EU Member States towards the use of substances other than vitamins and minerals in food supplements. The current regulatory environment and the foreseen future work to develop lists of botanicals and other bioactive substances, have been analysed for the EU and for countries beyond.
