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.
In order to be marketed on the French market, a food supplement must be subject to a prior declaration to the competent authority in accordance with Decree No. 2006-352 on food supplements. Since February 3, 2023, food supplements have been declared to the Directorate General for Food using the online declaration platform téléicare.
