Food law.

Legal issues from product to advertising.

Advice & representation

Food law
in practice.

An audit starts with the recipe, label, planned marketing and target market. Depending on the issue, aspects of food law, competition law and contract must be considered. Required technical or scientific assessments are identified as separate audit requirements.

01

Labeling & product presentation

We check labels, mandatory information and the presentation in the online shop based on the specific product. Changes to the recipe or presentation must be taken into account in the evaluation.

02

Health Claims & Advertising

In the case of nutritional and health-related claims, the respective statement and its conditions of use must be checked. This includes packaging, shop, ads and creator campaigns.

03

Warnings & authorities

We process complaints, review the documents and assist with the legal response. Share existing deadlines and the status of previous communication.

04

Contracts & Distribution

Manufacturer, supply and distribution contracts should regulate responsibilities in a comprehensible manner. This includes product documentation, labeling, advertising material and handling complaints.

Questions & answers.

Is an ad with the BVL a product approval?

No The notification of a dietary supplement to the BVL is not an approval and does not confirm the marketability of the product. The legal review remains separate from this.

Does an advertising check also apply to influencer contributions?

A campaign review can also include briefings and specific creator contributions. The decisive factor is which statements are actually published; changes must be included in the scope of the audit.
