Ingredient and additive compliance is a critical step in ensuring the safety, legality, and marketability of food, supplements, nutraceuticals, and FMCG products across the GCC. RegXComply offers comprehensive ingredient and additive compliance assessments, reviewing product formulations against local authority regulations, permitted substances, maximum levels, and labeling requirements. Our services help businesses minimize regulatory risks, avoid rejections, and accelerate market entry in UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and other GCC markets.
Understanding the Regulatory Requirements:
Authorities across the GCC regulate ingredients and additives to protect public health and ensure product safety:

- Qatar : MOPH
- GCC-Wide : GSO ingredient and additive standards
Key Requirements:
- Permitted Ingredients & Additives : Only approved substances with defined usage limits are allowed
- Maximum Levels & Dosages : Strict thresholds must be adhered to for vitamins, minerals, flavorings, and preservatives
