REGULATORY FILES

CONTEXT: You would like to submit an application for authorisation of a health claim to be scientifically validated by the European Food Safety Authority.

ORCHIDALI ACHIEVEMENT: We can prepare and write the full dossier according to the format and the scientific requirements from the technical guidance from the EFSA. We can also coach you if your researchers prefer to be in charge of the scientific writing. In any case, we will share with you our experience in scientific writing for regulatory purposes.

Orchidali has also experience in writing other regulatory dossiers such as for Food for Special Medical Purposes (FSPM), Infant Formula…
