Food Supplement Registration in Israel - Overview

The food and dietary supplement industry is one of the most essential growth components all over the world. The National Food Control Service (FCS) and the Israel Health Authority (HA) are responsible for ensuring food safety, quality, and authenticity. The FCS is the Regulatory agency responsible for the development of food standards and regulations in Israel. The agency is also in charge of imported food licensing. It maintains and safeguards the quality and authenticity of Israel’s food products and takes care of the food licensing process in Israel.

For novel foods to be imported or manufactured in Israel, they first require permission from the Israel Health Authority (HA) to get approval for the application process, following which the novel food would be added to the list of new foods.

The Public Health Regulation is responsible for the regulation of food packaging in Israel. According to the regulation, food and beverage packaging must comply with Israeli Standard (SI) 5113. For Labeling Regulations in Israel, various food products have specific labeling standards, e.g., to ensure the marking of pre-packaged food products, they must comply with Israeli Standard 1145.
