Improving the assessment of compliance of biologically active food additives with established quality and safety requirements (literature review)

Introduction. Federation is aimed at ensuring sustainable natural population growth and reducing the detection of alimentary-dependent pathologies. Biologically active food additives (dietary supplements) play an important role in achieving these goals, the use of which helps to compensate for the deficiency in the intake of vitamins, minerals, and other biologically active substances into the human body. Objective. Substantiation of methodological approaches to the algorithm of sanitary, epidemiological, and hygienic assessment (examination) of biologically active food additives in the territory of the Russian Federation (RF) and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), In the course of the work, scientific literature sources from electronic databases (Elibrary, Pubmed, Scopus, Web of Science), legislative and regulatory acts of the Russian Federation, the EAEU and other countries were used, materials of own research. The analysis showed that the lack of a uniform approach by all EAEU member states to conducting sanitary, epidemiological, and hygienic assessments (expertise) leads to the sale of dietary supplements that do not comply with the established regulatory and legislative documents of the Russian Federation and the EAEU, and the falsification of this type of food. Conclusion. Due to the urgency of the issue of quality and safety of dietary supplements in circulation, and the need to unify the requirements for the examination of dietary supplements, scientifically based approaches have been developed to conduct sanitary, epidemiological, and hygienic assessment (examination) of biologically active food additives, which include the procedure for assessing the compliance of dietary supplements with established quality requirements. and security.
