Overview

Based on the classification of food products and product type, Food and Food Supplements product compliance and registration requirements may vary from country to country. Few countries mandate registration or notification requirements, while few are merely compliance based, without the need of registration.

For registration-based countries, food products may be categorized as low-risk, medium-risk and high-risk foods or borderline products (of Drug-Food category). For those without any categorization also, registration is a must. Registration terminology may vary for each country where few countries call it as a simple notification or approval as well.

A Registration Dossier is a file/document that contains all the technical data (administrative, manufacturing, quality, control, nonclinical and clinical) of a product to be approved/registered/ marketed in a country. Any registration process requires a dossier or a technical file or set of technical documents, which for example, include a few or a combination of below mentioned:

• Product formula, composition, ingredients and source data
• Label and artwork
• Claims and supporting data
• Batch formula
