Self-declaration vs Registration

The right pathway depends on classification and claims. We prioritize risk control before filing to prevent avoidable rework and delays.

A Pathway
Lower regulatory intensity

Self-declaration

Typical for
General food and certain low-risk products.
Core focus
Correct testing scope, label compliance, and conservative claims.
Outcome
Fast execution when the dossier is built correctly the first time.
B Pathway
Higher scrutiny

Registration / Product Announcement

Required for
Health Supplements (Dietary Supplements).
Core focus
Composition, intended use, claims boundaries, and scientific support.
Reality
Clarification rounds are common — dossier strategy matters.
!

Decision rule: “Supplemented Food” often sits in the middle. If the ingredient profile and label/marketing resemble a dietary supplement, it may trigger the registration pathway. Green NRJ provides classification advisory before you commit to packaging and claims.
