GUIDANCE ON THE OBLIGATION OF ORIGIN LABELLING WITH REGARD TO “PRIMARY INGREDIENTS OF DIFFERENT ORIGIN” FOR FOOD SUPPLEMENTS

Indicating the Country of Origin (COOL) or Place of Provenance (POP) of a food supplement is voluntary. Regulation 2018/775 imposes specific requirements to meet in case the COOL or POP of the food is not the same as that of its primary ingredient(s). Food Supplements Europe has developed guidance on how to apply this to food supplements. It provides information on how to establish the primary ingredient of a food supplement and how to indicate its origin.
