Market guides

Private-label supplement launch guides

Each market guide reviews a launch direction against the relevant target-market framework — labelling, claim wording, notification scope and documentation route. Guides are scoped to public information; project-specific details are confirmed inside the DAT portal.

Reviewed private-label concepts, by format

Each card opens the reviewed catalogue for that format — every public PIM concept, framed for private-label brand owners. Documentation routes through DAT's standard 4-gate project workflow regardless of format.

EU is the right starting point for most multi-country launches. Specific country guides cover labelling and notification rules that diverge from the EU framework.

Reviewed per project

Compliance is reviewed against the target market — not promised on the public site.

Final claim wording, label rules and notification scope are reviewed inside the project workspace, against the framework relevant to the chosen market. The brand owner remains the food business operator and is responsible for filings.

Working routes

Three ways to launch with DAT

Every project fits one of these routes. The wizard pre-fills the route you pick — final routing is confirmed inside the portal once the brief has been reviewed.

White-label formula

Pick a reviewed concept from the catalogue and adapt brand artwork. Fastest path to a launch.

  • Reviewed formula concept
  • Brand artwork on a stock pack format
  • Documentation scoped to the target market
Use this route in the brief
Semi-custom route From 2,500 units

Semi-custom project

Adjust dose, flavour or active stack within an existing matrix.

  • Adjusted formulation in a known matrix
  • Stock or doypack packaging
  • Per-SKU specification and review
Use this route in the brief
Custom development From 5,000 units

Brief inputs

What DAT needs to route the project

Project briefs are handled in the DAT portal. The wizard prompts for the inputs below — the more upfront context, the faster DAT can confirm feasibility and the right working route.

  1. 01
    Target market

    Primary distribution market and any secondary markets — drives label, claims and notification scope.

  2. 02
    Quantity

    Indicative MOQ tier and forecast for the launch window. Used to confirm route and packaging.

  3. 03
    Formula direction

    Positioning, active ingredients in scope and any non-starters. Custom development is reviewed against the brief.

  4. 04
    Packaging format

    PET bottle, doypack or sachet — pack format influences the production route and documentation set.

  5. 05
    Timeline

    Target launch window. Production calendar and raw-material lead times are confirmed in the quote.

  6. 06
    Claims & label requirements

    Any approved claim wording, regulatory framework, or label requirement you already need to honour.

Documentation route

Project gates, not promises

DAT releases documentation as the project moves through each gate. Batch-release documents are issued after production and QC release.
