This service provides fast, structured digital access to the official list of plants and plant parts permitted in food supplements in Romania, based on updated versions published by the competent authorities.
The list is prepared by a joint working group coordinated by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, with the participation of the Technical Committee for Medicinal and Aromatic Plants and Bee Products (CT-PMAPS), as well as specialized bodies responsible for medicinal and aromatic plants. The document is updated periodically, at least once a year or whenever new assessments and scientific data relevant to the safety of botanical ingredients in food supplements become available.
In this context, our service turns an official resource that can be difficult to navigate in its original format into a modern, intuitive, and efficient working tool. The online interface lets users immediately identify the current botanical name, its synonyms, the plant part eligible for use, the date of the most recent update, and, where applicable, any warnings included in the official document. Search and filtering functions make it possible to find essential information in seconds, without spending time navigating lengthy documents, low-quality scans, or cumbersome tables. The platform is designed as a professional reference environment in which information is immediately available, well organized, and easy to interpret in the context of their work.
The main value of digital access is that this list represents the first mandatory step in any compliance process involving plant-based food supplements. Law No. 56/2021 explicitly provides that the Ministry of Health publishes on its website the list of plants permitted in food supplements, as supplied by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, alongside the list of substances with nutritional or physiological effects and the list of supplements already notified.
Access to the official list is a mandatory reference resource for professionals involved in formulating, notifying, and marketing plant-based food supplements. Manufacturers, consultants, product developers, documentation specialists, regulatory affairs professionals, importers, distributors, pharmacists, and anyone responsible for legal compliance must verify from the outset that the species and plant part being used appear on the list approved by the authorities. A quick check through a search-optimized interface significantly reduces the risk of costly errors, rejected applications, or confusion between botanical synonyms and trade names.
Inclusion of a species on this list indicates that the plant and the specified part may be considered in a notification dossier, subject to applicable legislation. As an official document, the list does not establish or confirm specific conditions for internal or external use, nor does it provide a comprehensive safety assessment. It indicates only that, in principle, the species falls within the category of botanical ingredients that may be used in food supplements, subject to other requirements, including the exclusion of species appearing on lists of plants hazardous to human consumption under Joint MADR–MS Order No. 244/401/2005.
Actual approval for use depends on laboratory analyses and compliance with the safety limits established for controlled compounds, in accordance with European and national food safety legislation. Our online reference service provides digital access only to this list and its factual structure, without interpreting, modifying, or adding to the contents of the official documents.
With this service, the official list becomes a practical working tool rather than merely an archive file that is difficult to use. The platform is accessible at any time, easy to navigate, and designed to provide immediate answers to people who need accurate information in their daily work: product development, reformulation, label review, consulting, or compliance analysis. In a tightly regulated field where decisions depend on precise technical details and the correct identification of ingredients, immediate access to this information in a searchable, structured format provides indispensable professional support.
