EU supplements & wellness: 35% of actions graded serious

35% of the 2,393 EU food and feed notifications covering supplements & wellness were graded a serious risk, against 53% across all categories. 12% were border rejections.

Actions here skew to the lower risk grades, so the usual outcome is paperwork rather than a withdrawal.

87 of a possible 90Tier B, systematic first-party observation. Nothing at this tier is allowed past 90, however good it looks.

Outcome

Held since January 1, 2012What repeatedly happened when brands acted. The earliest date we are willing to say this held. It may well have been true before that; we do not backdate a record past the evidence we have read. Supported, version 1.

Free to quote, cite and act on. Not to resell or redistribute — the sources ask that of us, and each one’s terms are named. Machine-readable: entries.json carries this record under the id omr:eu:supplements:eu-category-risk, with the same evidence and falsifier.

Published free, as reference, without warranty. This is not legal, regulatory, customs, tax or investment advice, and it is not a substitute for reading the primary document, which every record here names, dates and links, precisely so that you can.

We derive from public sources and we do not independently audit them. Where a source says its own records are unverified, that carries through to us. What we do promise is that every figure is recomputed from stored rows, every claim publishes the observation that would overturn it, and every correction goes on the public log. If something here is wrong, tell us and it changes in the open.
