Food supplements and nutrition products face two layers of EU rules: how they are labelled, and what they are allowed to claim. Getting either wrong is a common reason for rejected listings and buyer pushback.

Labelling essentials

The Food Information to Consumers Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 sets out mandatory information: the ingredient list, allergens, nutrition details, net quantity, durability, storage, and the name and address of the responsible food business. Supplements also follow Directive 2002/46/EC on permitted vitamins and minerals.

Claims are tightly controlled

Under the Nutrition and Health Claims Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, you may only use health claims that are authorised and worded in line with the EU register. A claim that sounds persuasive but is not authorised is a compliance risk, not a selling point.

Bringing it together

Oyae extracts the label, ingredient and claim fields from your existing artwork and supplier files, and flags claims that need authorised wording or substantiation — so what reaches the listing is both complete and defensible.
