243 notifications on food supplements and dietetic foods from the United Kingdom since 1 January 2020. That is 31% of all EU notifications on products from the United Kingdom and 10% of all notifications on food supplements and dietetic foods from any origin; The United Kingdom ranks 2 of 77 origins for this category. 39 in the 365 days to 8 November 2026, against 32 in the 365 days before, up 22%.

Most reported: unauthorised novel food (64), medicinal substances (sildenafil, tadalafil and others) (47) and cannabidiol (CBD) (26). 14% were border rejections (12% for food supplements and dietetic foods from all origins) and 30% had a serious risk decision. The products named most often were food supplements (193), food supplement capsules or tablets (7) and food supplement powders (4).

Counts start on 1 January 2020 and run to 8 November 2026, the day the list was last read. A notification that names two countries of origin counts for each. Findings come from our word list matched against the EU subject line, which is never shown; 96% of all notifications match it, the rest count as other finding. Each reference links to the official record on RASFF Window. How this works.
