The Food Supplements (England) Regulations 2003 (SI 2003/1387, with parallel SIs for Scotland, Wales, NI) implement the EU Food Supplements Directive 2002/46/EC and govern composition, labelling and notification of food supplements sold in the UK. They define a food supplement, set the permitted vitamins/minerals and their chemical forms (Annex I/II), require pre-market notification to the relevant Food Authority, and mandate the prescribed label statements — including 'food supplement' on the principal display.

How V5 handles it
QMS — quality engineered into every action, not bolted on.
Because V5 owns the operator action, the QMS sees the data the second it’s captured — not at the end of the shift.
Document control with hard kiosk-level training enforcement.
Versioned SOPs are only useful if operators are actually trained on the current version. V5 enforces it at the kiosk.
Score your compliance gap — then download the validation pack.
A guided self-assessment walks you against the regulator clauses that apply to your industry. The validation pack — IQ/OQ/PQ scripts, traceability matrix, risk assessment, intended-use statement — generates from the same evidence so you can hand it to an auditor on day one.
