A heightened interest in personal health coupled with dramatic advances in science, have led to significant changes in the food market. One major development is the growing consumer demand for food supplements to enhance a healthy diet.  But as consumer choice and scientific knowledge rapidly evolves, it can be tough for legislators to keep pace with the market’s changes.

The European Responsible Nutrition Alliance (ERNA) was formed to work towards a common European approach to food supplements - one that reflects the interests of both the consumers and the industry. Made up of major European food supplement manufacturers and suppliers, the alliance works with industry, consumer and regulatory bodies to tackle controversial issues.

ERNA is striving to ensure a future European market with a range of safe, quality products that reflect the latest in supplementation research.
