NUTRIVIGILANCE

A nutrivigilance system is quality system used by the marketing responsible company to fulfil the tasks and responsibilities  as required by the Competent Authorities  and designed to monitor the safety of authorised food supplements and detect any change to their risk-benefit balance.

A nutrivigilance system is characterised by its structures, processes and outcomes.

The quality system is part of the nutrivigilance system and consists of its own structures and processes. It  covers organisational structure, responsibilities, procedures, processes and resources of the nutrivigilance system as well as appropriate resource management, compliance management and record management.

The overall quality objectives of the nutrivigilance system are:

  • complying with the expected legal requirements for nutrivigilance tasks and responsibilities.
  • preventing harm from adverse reactions in humans arising from the use of authorised food supplements and analogous products within or outside the terms of marketing authorisation or from occupational exposure.
  • monitoring the safe and effective use of food supplements, in particular through providing timely information about the safety of food supplements to companies responsible for the market.
  • contributing to the protection of patients’ and public health.

Nutrivigilance is an indispensable precaution for the future of product safety.
