Aug 02, 2021
The aim of this study is to raise awareness and to improve knowledge of food supplements legislation in Romania.
Special attention should be given to the new piece of legislation applicable in Romania Law no. 56/2021 on food supplements, which is intended to bring light and transparency in this field, after transposing the Directive 2002/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 June 2002 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to food supplements as amended by other European Union legislative acts.
After several years of legislative struggle, the Law no. 56/2021 has been promulgated on March 31, 2021 through the Presidential Decree no. 256/2021. Since the fines are consistent, attention should be given by the private players on the Romanian food supplements market in order to comply with the new rules.
Therefore, this study intends to provide guidance for both legal professionals, and non-specialist legal professionals working in the field of food supplements.
