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.
The next edition of the International NutraFood Poland Trade Fair 2026 is coming soon – a strategic event in the functional food and dietary supplements industry in Poland. For participants, it is not only a space to showcase innovative products, but above all an opportunity to exchange knowledge, share experiences, and build international business relationships.

This is particularly noteworthy because the previous rates had remained unchanged since 2016. The new regulations adjust remuneration to current economic realities and the growing role of mediation in civil proceedings.
For over a decade in Poland, a total ban on the advertising of pharmacies and their activities was in force (Article 94a of the Pharmaceutical Law), allowing only information about location and opening hours.

All this lasted until 19 June 2025 and the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU).
