Regulation of Probiotics & Prebiotics in Europe:

A survey among all Competent Authorities

​

This is aligned with the position of some national authorities but deviates from the one of EU regulators and most EU member states. Luis’ presentation showed the results of Sandwalk’s survey among all EU competent authorities to explore the potential effect of Spain’s decision.
