French food authorities have introduced a new online resource that is hoped to streamline the process of reporting adverse effects of supplements and other food products. The French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety’s (ANSES) Nutrivigilance scheme simplifies the reporting process into six steps that allows users to anonymously report any unwanted effects as a result of consuming certain foods. According to ANSES, the process has been speeded up to allow electronically submitted details to undergo evaluation by the relevant authority. “The Nutrivigilance system aims to harvest the undesirable effects of certain types of food products such as supplements, fortified drinks or so-called energy drinks,” explains Gwenn Vo Van Regnault, Nutrivigilance Officer for ANSES.
