The ALS (Working Group of Food Chemists) in Germany has published its statements

The publication of the statements from the 124. ALS-Meeting (Scroll down for individual comments in the document.) discusses a number of current issues affecting the food supplement industry. In addition to the topics of ‘naturalness of additives’, ‘preparations for joints as food supplements’ and ‘advertising of food supplements with a nutrient transport concept’, the ‘assimilation’ of disease and health-related claims from user comments is a recurring theme. The ALS takes a clear position on this and states that disease and health claims made by users in comment functions on the distributor’s websites can be attributed to the distributor. This applies regardless of whether a disclaimer is present or not. Experience shows that these decisions are also readily adopted in Switzerland.
