All type of fortified food, food supplements and food for sports persons

FDHA Ordinance on the Addition of Vitamins, Minerals and other Substances to Foodstuffs (AVMO). Language(s): German, French and Italian. Number of pages: 10

The maximum limits for vitamins and minerals permitted in fortified food, food supplements and food for sports persons are adjusted to bring them in line with the tolerable upper intake level (UL). Basis for the calculation are national food consumption data, data from EFSA, Institute of Medicine, National Academy of Medicine (ex IMO) and WHO.

The new approach takes into account the overall consumption of vitamins and minerals by fortified food and food supplements.  Furthermore DMAA and DNP were explicitly forbidden.
