The Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) has published the report “FOOD SAFETY in personalized nutrition – A focus on food supplements and functional foods“, highlighting the evolving challenges in ensuring the safety of these products. Key aspects include ingredient safety (especially those without a history of consumption), interaction with medications, and the importance of appropriate dosage.
The report also compares global regulatory practices on classification, labelling, and oversight of supplements and functional foods. It offers strategic insights for strengthening food safety governance, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, promoting both innovation and consumer protection.
