EAS holds workshop at Vitafoods Asia 2013

Regulatory experts at EAS Strategic Advice will be on hand to guide companies through the health supplement regulations in ASEAN at a free-to-attend, three-hour workshop at Vitafoods Asia next month.

The workshop, to be held on 4 September from 10.30-13.30 in the Seminar Theatre, will explain the challenges and opportunities for market access within the ASEAN harmonisation initiatives.

It will cover similarities and differences in existing national regulations for health supplements in ASEAN countries; common areas to consider when building multi-market regulatory strategies, and the ASEAN harmonisation process and harmonised technical requirements for health supplements.

“A number of developments in the area of health supplements harmonisation have gotten underway in ASEAN and are soon to be implemented by the member states,” said Wai Mun Poon, Regional Regulatory Affairs manager at EAS Strategic Advice. “This workshop aims to help companies understand future requirements and plan their business strategies accordingly, to maximise the opportunities that the harmonised ASEAN arena will bring.”

At Vitafoods Asia, EAS experts will also be offering free 20-minute one-on-one regulatory advice sessions on the do’s and don'ts in terms of product formulation, health claims, new foods or food supplement ingredients, labelling requirements and procedures for entering the different markets.
