A tool, not legal advice

What the scanner does

It checks three things: whether an ingredient may be sold in the EU at all, whether the wording contains phrases that are prohibited for food supplements, and whether the health claims match wording that has actually been authorised. Every finding names the rule it rests on so you can look it up yourself.

What it does not do

• It does not cover every rule. National rules on top of the EU layer, labelling requirements, advertising law and sector-specific rules are outside what it checks.
• It does not prove that a text is lawful. A clean result means the checks that ran found nothing — not that nothing is there.
• It does not give binding advice. For that you need a lawyer who knows your product, your market and your evidence.

The rules move

Health claim law is living law. Authorisations are granted and withdrawn, ingredients are reassessed, and national authorities take differing views. Our rule data carries a version number and a date, and both are shown with every scan. A result from last quarter may no longer be right.

Where responsibility sits

Responsibility for what you publish and sell is yours, and it stays yours whatever this tool says. Use the findings as a starting point for a decision, never as the decision itself.
