Philippines FDA compliance for food, beverage and supplement brands
The Philippines FDA regulates food, beverages and supplements through one registration system, and tightened therapeutic claims restrictions for supplements in 2025. Getting classification right and validating claims before registration is more critical than ever, whatever the product category.
