RNI Consulting supports you in your international export projects.
The regulatory aspects of a project should be anticipated ahead of product development in order to:
Integrate an international marketing extension strategy from the beginning
A nutrition product with health benefits may fall underdifferent regulatory statuses across countries:
- A food supplement (« Food Supplement ») in Europe, a dietary supplement in the US, a Natural Health Product in Canada, therapeutic goods in Australia…
- A beverage with addition of nutrients and/or added value substances can be classified as an enriched food, a food supplement, a health product…
Develop a product in accordance with:
- The applicable regulation of the targeted countries,
- The targeted health and nutrition benefits with the choice of active ingredients in compliance with regulation.
Consider new marketing opportunities through an inventory of the regulation applicable to the product;
