Buying food supplements safely: tips from the Dutch Consumer Association

Many Dutch people buy food supplements online. However, according to the Consumer Association, it is important to thoroughly investigate whether the product is safe. Not all suppliers are equally reliable.

The organisation advises to carefully examine the label. It should clearly state what is in the supplement and how much. It is also wise to check if the seller has a known address and a good reputation.

According to the Consumer Association, it is wise not to simply choose the cheapest option. Sometimes a lower price can indicate poor quality or unsafe ingredients.

Those who are unsure can always contact the supplier for more information. Consulting a nutritionist or doctor is also recommended.
