Food Supplements Working Group (AK NEM) within Food Federation Germany
Under the umbrella of Food Federation Germany, the Food Supplements Working Group (AK NEM) is a platform for advocacy and technical exchange on legal and scientific questions concerning food supplements.
Its central tasks are representing members' interests at national and European level, exchange with European and international trade associations, and informing members about current developments. Its members include manufacturers of food supplements as well as manufacturers of raw materials and service providers (laboratories, lawyers, law firms and consultants).
The work of AK NEM is characterised by the active participation of its members and the sharing of experience and knowledge. The group meets four times a year. Special questions are pre-prepared and discussed in working groups and project groups. The results are presented to all group members, discussed for a final time, and jointly adopted.
