Regulatory framework

The regulatory authority is DGCCRF + ANSES. Supplement notification follows the Téléicare declaration path, filed by the brand owner as the food business operator. DAT supplies a documentation pack (specification sheet, formulation dossier, Certificate of Analysis, artwork compliance notes) to support the brand owner’s filing. All regulatory content is reviewed per project against the French framework.
