On Monday, July 8, 2024, the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) released a pivotal report addressing the safety of "probiotics" in food supplements.

The FSAI report highlighted minimal adverse incidents tied to probiotics. The Committee proposed stringent safety assessment standards and evidence requirements for supplement producers.
