11 Jul 2024 --- The UK’s Food Standards Agency (FSA) requests stakeholder views on ashwagandha supplements to build an evidence package for future risk management advice. The organization underscores its awareness of “potential risks to health from consuming ashwagandha in food supplements.” The FSA is seeking evidence to support its request for a risk assessment on the botanical from the country’s Committee on Toxicity. This evidence will determine whether a safe level of ashwagandha for use in food supplements can be established and assess the risk associated with consuming ashwagandha-containing supplements.
