Industry groups including BSNA have joined together to call on the EU Commission to remove barriers to the export into the EU of Vitamin D3 through its classification as a Product of Animal Origin (POAO).

The industry group, made up of the European Specialist Sports Nutrition Alliance, the UK Council for Responsible Nutrition, the Consumer Health, PAGB - the Consumer Healthcare Association, Health Food Manufacturers Association and BSNA, has been working the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs to push for a change in the EU's classification.
