5 Reasons Why Businesses Need to Register Health Supplement Declarations

Health supplements are widely favored by Vietnamese consumers nowadays. However, these products directly impact consumers’ health, so the government has mandated that they must obtain a declaration dossier issued by the Food Safety Department. This requirement is essential for the following reasons, as explored by Asia Life:

  • Avoiding penalties during regulatory inspections

As mentioned earlier, the declaration of health supplements is one of the mandatory regulations and is legalized in legal documents. Failure to comply with this law will naturally result in penalties as stipulated, with fines for health supplements up to 40 million VND. Therefore, ensuring product quality through declaration before market distribution will provide peace of mind and legal compliance for businesses.

  • Protecting consumer health

To obtain a quality declaration for health supplements, manufacturing and trading facilities must ensure product quality according to the specified criteria. When the products comply with the criteria and pass scrutiny, consumer health is protected.

  • Building brand reputation

The declaration of health supplements signifies that these products have been tested for food safety and are legally permitted for circulation. With legal credibility established, these products will quickly gain consumer trust and acceptance. Being trusted is akin to building brand reputation and gradually gaining a foothold in the market.

  • Enhancing competitiveness

In a society where concerns about contaminated and low-quality food products prevail, having your product scrutinized and authorized for circulation by regulatory authorities will undoubtedly elevate your product and your company’s competitiveness in the market, especially compared to products that have not been declared.

As consumers prioritize quality, certified health supplements become their top choice, spreading through word of mouth. Consequently, your products will quickly outperform competitors, boosting sales figures.

  • Maintaining product quality stability

Once health supplement products are registered for quality, individuals still need to ensure that the quality meets the standards submitted to the Food Safety Authority. According to current laws, government agencies have the right to conduct surprise inspections on any declared product at any time. Moreover, maintaining product stability is a way for businesses to earn consumer trust.

Therefore, it is evident that the declaration of health supplements plays a crucial role in the development process, brand building, and compliance with current legal regulations. Understanding the reasons for declaration, now is the time for your organization to declare health supplements.
