Functional foods, health drinks, fortified products & snacks
The global functional food and beverage market is valued at $300B+ — the largest health product segment. Protein bars, functional drinks, fortified snacks, probiotic foods, adaptogens in beverages, and nootropic drinks are growing at double-digit rates. Each market has distinct food labelling laws, novel food regulations, and fortification limits.
Regulatory Overview
Food and beverage is regulated as food in all markets, but functional ingredients (vitamins added to drinks, adaptogens in snacks, probiotics in yogurt) trigger additional requirements. Novel foods/ingredients require pre-market authorisation in the EU, UK, Australia, and increasingly other markets. Nutrition and health claims are tightly controlled.
