Labeling Audit: Compliance of Regulatory Mentions<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Claim “Dietary Supplement” \u2192 \u274c NON-COMPLIANT<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under Regulation (EC) No 767\/2009, the category “dietary supplement” is not recognized in animal nutrition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution : <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This term refers to a compound feed with a high content of certain substances, but which does not, on its own, provide the animal’s complete daily ration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Claim “Senior Dog” \u2192 \u2705 COMPLIANT<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • The target species must be clearly indicated on the label.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Clarifications on the target population, such as “SENIOR,” are permitted if justified by the specific formulation of the product.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      <\/div>\n\n\n\n

      Claim “For Osteoarthritis” \u2192 \u274c NON-COMPLIANT<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Any claim referencing a disease is prohibited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Such mentions could lead to the product being reclassified as a\u00a0medicinal product by presentation, which is subject to much stricter regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Solution :<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      A\u00a0complementary feed\u00a0is\u00a0not\u00a0intended to treat or relieve a disease. Therefore, the claim should be reformulated to highlight\u00a0nutritional and functional benefits\u00a0without referring to a pathology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      <\/div>\n\n\n\n

      Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Verify the labeling\u00a0to avoid non-compliance or reclassification as a medicinal product by presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \ud83d\udea8\u00a0Incorrect labeling can result in sanctions and market withdrawal.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Use appropriate regulatory terminology\u00a0(e.g., “complementary feed” instead of “dietary supplement”).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Avoid references to diseases\u00a0to prevent reclassification as a medicinal product.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • Ensure the presence of all mandatory labeling mentions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            A labeling audit helps prevent errors and ensures compliance before market placement.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
