Safety & Quality

Contrary to the view that botanical food supplements lack a regulatory structure sufficient to ensure their quality and safety, foods (and botanical food supplements) have a full and specific set of Regulations and Directives covering every aspect of manufacture, from the gathering of the raw material, through the production process, to the eventual placing of the finished product on the market, through to post-market monitoring.
