In  January 2021, the Danish Minister for Food, Agriculture and Fisheries, Rasmus Prehn, stated his intention to work towards the acceptance of the word “probiotic” on the labels of food products marketed in the country. This decision follows the Spain’s one, announced in April 2020 and Italy’s.

Indeed, Mr. Prehn announced that the Danish Ministry will contact Spain’s and other EU countries’ competent authorities (Italian and Dutch) in the coming months regarding this subject, aiming at reaching a more harmonized position between EU members
