    Published: Wednesday, May 8, 2019

    AHPA is an active member of IADSA and is distributing the IADSA Newsflash as a member benefit. IADSA is an association focused on the globalization of food supplement markets and regulatory challenges. This issue of the IADSA Newsflash covers:

    • China is considering the addition of 5 functional ingredients to its food raw materials directory, including reishi powder and spirulina
    • China is also considering changes to permitted health food function claims
    • India is considering microbiological standards for nutraceutical products
    • Japan has plans to institute more stringent “GMO free” labeling requirements
    • The EU has decided to prohibit the use of yohimbe and its preparations; it was “under scrutiny” for 4 years due to uncertainty about its harmful effects on human health and no data were submitted to support its safety during that period
    • French authorities have decided to ban the use of titanium dioxide on food and food supplements; this decision will be addressed with the European Commission and other Member States in mi-May. 
    • The French food safety agency has called for better consumer education of the potential risks associated with glucosamine/chondroitin joint health supplements
    • Saudi Arabia has published draft rules for the submissions of “herbal and health product” submissions for the registration of such products
    • Mexican authorities have revoked the guidelines and criteria for assessing the use of cannabis, including in food supplements
    • Ukraine is harmonizing food labeling standards with the EU
