The DGAL launches the new French database Ingredients and notification platform Compl’alim for the food supplements: The beta versions just opened!

The DGAL, through Synadiet, organized 2 webinars (on April 23 and 29, 2024) for manufacturers in the food supplements sector. These 2 webinars aimed to present the next steps to come in 2024 concerning the change of administration and therefore of the notification system for food supplements on the French market. During these webinars, the DGAL explicitly stated its desire to build the new tool in a scalable manner and in collaboration with the various feedback from manufacturers. Thus, the DGAL was able to announce the opening of the beta versions of the ingredients database and the new Compl’Alim notification platform, before their official launches planned for the 2024 school year (September). Until September, Téléicare remains the official platform for notifying your food supplements, but will become obsolete upon the official launch of Compl’Alim.

The beta versions of the 2 systems are already available. Indeed, the DGAL plans their official launches for the 2024 school year (September). Until September, Téléicare remains the official platform for notifying your food supplements, but will become obsolete upon the official launch of Compl’Alim.

The ingredients database is currently freely accessible at the link. It is not 100% complete at the moment but aims to be updated regularly and to be complete by September. In addition to the transfer of history and the Téléicare database, the site’s webmasters also rely on user feedback. It is therefore possible to provide feedback, directly on the site, to webmasters if errors or gaps have been noticed. This query will then be evaluated before potentially being integrated into the database. So don’t hesitate to go and test the new site!

Alongside this new ingredient database, the DGAL has opened the beta version of the food supplement notification platform: Compl’Alim.

This new platform aims to replace the Téléicare platform, the DGCCRF system, from the start of the 2024 school year. This new system, while drawing inspiration from the previous one, aims to simplify certain steps that already existed but also to add/modify some.

For example, the new Compl’Alim platform begins with the step of the list of ingredients and the description of the product, from which the system will automatically direct you to which type of notification to register your product: according to articles 15, 16 or even 17 and 18 (the new tool now includes declarations according to articles 17 and 18 which Téléicare did not allow).

For those who want to become beta testers. It is possible to register at this link.
