Workshop to focus on dietary supplement regulation in L. America

Representatives from government and industry are expected to convene in Bogotá, Colombia, for the Scientific and Regulatory Trends on Dietary Supplements workshop. This meeting, set for 4-5 September, seeks to address evolving dietary supplement regulation in Latin America and its impact on consumers.

Expected to attend are authorities from Andean Community member countries, such as Colombia, Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru, and from Venezuela, and Paraguay. Participants will focus on regulatory trends in Latin America and the rest of the world, specifically on the  challenges  and  opportunities emerging  in  Colombia’s  regulatory  environment,  including  issues  such  as substantiating health claims and ensuring the safety of bioactive substances in dietary supplements, as well as the food supplements policy and regulation, current  regulatory  practices  and  plans  for  further  development  of the regulation in the countries that are invited to participate at the workshop.

The workshop is being organised by the Latin American Responsible Nutrition Alliance (ALANUR)  with the support of the International Alliance of Dietary/Food Supplement Associations  (IADSA) for  regulators,  policy  and scientific  experts  to  share  ideas  and  identify  new  avenues in areas  where legislation is not yet complete.
