The Brussels-based European trade association EHPM has hailed Italy’s recently adopted Decree on the use of plant and botanical substances and preparations in food supplements. The Decree, which was published in the official gazette on July 21st, 2012, had long been discussed, but until now never been adopted in Italian national law. It contains a long list of plants approved for use in food supplements, with conditions of use and labeling requirements. The Decree also contains an official clause on the principle of mutual recognition that will support the free movement of botanical food supplements and provide legal certainty on the status of these products. The decree comes together with guidelines on indications and/or references to physiological effects that can be claimed on the product labels.
