The Circular provides for foodstuff that has been added with special nutrients, vitamins and minerals and other assorted food additives meant to strengthen or support the body via nutritional implements. The RNI 2002 (Recommended Nutrient Intakes) should not be exceeded and in case of over dosage the labelling should clearly indicate the real dosages. In case of medically and biologically active ingredients, the supporting documentation proving their efficacy and intended use must be clearly indicated on the labels. The labels shall also indicate the instructions for use, together with effects, dosages, contraindications and any other important information related to the consumption of that particular foodstuff.
