Netherlands on Food and Drugs Law

There are many suppliers of agricultural produce in the Netherlands, such as farmers and growers, but also slaughterhouses.

Upfield (now Flora Food Group) must change the sales name of its product ROOMBETER. The plant-based product may compete with with butter as fiercely as it wishes.

The text "reduces swelling and relieves pain" cannot be used for a food supplement. Food law prohibits making medical claims. This carries a fine of €525 or €1050.
