To place a dietary supplement on the Greek market, legalization for market placement is required from the National Organization for Medicines (EOF), in accordance with Directive 2002/46/EC. The procedure ensures that the product is legal, safe, and compliant with Greek and European legislation.

The overall process — from formula approval to delivery of the finished product — follows roughly this timeline:
Client approval of design mockups
Formula materials sent to the factory

EOF notification number issued
Finished product ready, with the notification number printed on the label
In a private label or white label partnership, roles are clear from the start:
Approves the final label and the content of health claims in writing, as well as any form of promotion for their product.
