food law

We advise you in the entire area of food law which as before is at the focus of public and political discussion. The term “food” covers a number of products, in particular food supplements, dietary or new kinds of foodstuffs.

The complex requirements on the food industry have now been harmonised at the European level in many areas such as, for example by the Regulation (EU) No. 1924/2006 on nutritional value and health-related information on foodstuffs (Health claims regulation) or the Regulation (EU) No. 1925/2006 (Enrichment regulation). In particular the subject area “advertising and advertising restrictions” for food and the implementation of the health claims regulation in practice lead to considerable uncertainties and increased requirements on advertising statements and risk strategies

  • Advice on the creation of advertising and risk strategies relating to the advertising and identification of food/nutrition supplements, in particular health claims and other advertising measures
  • Examination of the marketability of foodstuffs, in particular nutritional supplements, dietetics and functional food
  • Delimitation of foodstuffs with respect for drugs, cosmetics, medicinal products
  • Advice in the area of additives and novel food
  • Representation in competition strategies and other proceedings
