NIO Ministers engage regularly with Cabinet colleagues on a variety of issues including European Union Regulations applying in Northern Ireland under the Windsor Framework, such as the European Union food supplement regulations..
The UK Government is negotiating a new strategic partnership with the EU called a sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) agreement. It is the Government’s intention that the agreement will take effect in mid-2027. Legislation relating to food supplements and the addition of vitamins and minerals to foods is within scope of the SPS agreement.
An SPS agreement would mean that legislation in-scope of the agreement in Great Britain, would dynamically align with equivalent legislation in the EU. This also means that regulations for businesses in both Great Britain and Northern Ireland will be aligned.
Therefore, if EU Food Supplements Regulations are updated in the future to include maximum levels of vitamins and minerals, these regulations in Great Britain will be updated, too.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of the European Commission's proposed maximum permitted levels for vitamins and minerals in food supplements under Directive 2002/46/EC on Northern Ireland.

In Northern Ireland, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) holds policy responsibility relating to food supplements and the addition of vitamins and minerals and certain other substances to foods.
At present there are no maximum levels of vitamins and minerals set in legislation, in either Great Britain or the European Union. The EU is currently working on an initiative that will propose maximum levels for vitamins or minerals that may be added to food supplements and fortified foods, and minimum levels for specific vitamins and minerals when added to food supplements. Any proposals will be consulted upon by the EU, however, the consultation has not yet been published.
The FSA is monitoring the progress of the EU’s planned proposals, including any consultation, and further analysis will be carried out when further information is available. FSA officials will be working with counterparts across the United Kingdom through the Nutrition-related Labelling, Composition and Standards provisional Common Framework policy group to manage any changes relating to this area.

Currently, Northern Ireland continues to apply relevant European Union (EU) food supplements legislation under the Windsor Framework.

Officials continue to engage with devolved governments across the United Kingdom through the Nutrition-related Labelling, Composition and Standards (NLCS) Common Framework which aims to reach common positions on nutrition-related labelling, composition and standards legislation in the interests of the UK internal market.
