EU Blocks Entry of Chinese Food Supplement Due to Unauthorized Ingredient
The EU Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed has reported a border rejection involving a food supplement exported from China to Poland. According to the notification, the product contained an unauthorized ingredient, prompting authorities to prevent its entry into the European Union.
The shipment had not yet been released to the market and was placed under customs seal pending rejection. The alert reflects the EU’s strict enforcement of ingredient authorization rules, particularly in the food supplement sector, where compliance with established safety and regulatory standards is essential.
This case underscores the importance for exporters to ensure that all components used in food supplements comply fully with EU regulations. Unauthorized substances, even when present in small quantities, may trigger immediate border action and result in shipment denial.
