26 Feb 2018 --- A majority of online traders recently surveyed by the European Commission are offering novel foods and food supplements that clearly do not comply with EU regulations. This is according to the results of the first coordinated official controls of Internet marketed foods carried out by 25 EU Member States, Switzerland and Norway. Nearly 1,100 websites were checked for certain products which are non-compliant with EU food legislation. More specifically, the investigation mainly focused on four non-authorized novel foods and food supplements bearing medicinal claims, namely Agmatine (4 aminobutyl) guanidine sulfate, Acacia rigidula, Epimedium grandiflorum and Hoodia gordonii.
