Scientific
Support
Nutraceutical market today has reached a high level of complexity and specialization; it is thus recommended that every ingredient’s efficacy is adequately supported by scientific studies.
C.F.M.’s Scientific Support department evaluates and shares, also in form of periodic newsletters, scientific documentation that comes with the nutraceutical ingredients. Moreover this function also considers the implications that scientific studies and EU regulations on efficacy and safety (i.e. Health Claims, Novel Foods and regulations on contaminants) may have on the potential market of the ingredient.
Scientific Support is therefore a useful service for customers that consider scientific marketing a mandatory instrument for a correct marketing positioning and for successful products.
Regulatory
and Technical Office
C.F.M.’s Technical-regulatory office monitors company’s activities so that standards of quality and safety are met, takes care of technical matters and assists customers’ requests involving pharmaceutical and nutritional raw materials.
Regarding foods and food supplements, what is verified and maintained is compliance of ingredients and raw materials to all EU legislation and regulations concerning safety and quality, i.e. presence of contaminants, solvents, allergens, pesticides, GMO and irradiation.
Regarding pharmaceutical area, DMFs, CEPs, quality questionnaires and agreements and letters of access are managed and, especially in cosmetic area, REACh/CLP compliance for products that require it is also dealt with.
Logistics
and Warehouse
C.F.M’s logistic department consists of dedicated staff with experience in customs and import/export procedures.
