Bulgaria introduces new regulations on food supplements

In Bulgaria, it will be allowed to sell food supplements only in food distribution outlets, pharmacies and drugstores. This is stipulated in a new ordinance of Bulgaria's Ministry of Agriculture, published for public discussion. It stipulates that only producers or traders registered under the Food Act will be able to trade in food supplements. 

The reason for the introduction of the new requirements is the mass fraud in online trading in supplements and the claims that they can cure various diseases or prevent them. 
Therefore, the new regulation prohibits labelling and advertising from attributing medicinal properties to food supplements.
