Regulatory framework

The NVWA (Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority) oversees supplements. There is no central notification system — operator responsibility applies; product-specific registration is required only for novel foods. The brand owner, as the food business operator, files any required documentation. DAT supplies a documentation pack including formulation specs, ingredient sourcing, and label text. All regulatory compliance is reviewed per project against the EU framework.
