The new PPWR regulations require the adoption of a strategy without which it is difficult to imagine the stable placement of products on the unified EU market.

The contemporary food market, and in particular the rapidly growing dietary supplements sector, operates under the shadow of stringent chemical safety standards. One of the most significant challenges currently faced by manufacturers, importers, and regulatory authorities is the issue of pesticide residues. Ensuring the purity of plant-based products is no longer merely a matter of good manufacturing practice, but above all a complex legal and analytical operation embedded in a dense network of EU regulations.

“NSA on the terms ‘dosage’ and ‘composition’ – new ruling on the labeling of dietary supplements”
On May 6, 2025, the Supreme Administrative Court, reviewing a cassation complaint filed by an entrepreneur operating in the dietary supplements sector, issued a judgment under case number II GSK 1813/24, which constitutes an important point of reference for the interpretation of food law regulations, particularly in the field of dietary supplement labeling. The case concerned the sanitary inspection authorities’ objection to the use of the terms “dosage” and “composition” on a dietary supplement label, which, in their view, could mislead consumers as to the nature of the product. The Court adopted a functional and purposive interpretation, emphasizing that the labeling of dietary supplements should be assessed not only from the perspective of the literal wording of the provisions but also taking into account the technical, linguistic, and consumer context. This ruling sets new standards for administrative practice and industry communication, and its consequences may have systemic implications for the entire dietary supplements market in Poland.
