Food supplements — GIS notification and classification
In Poland a food supplement is notified to GIS; it is not an authorisation. GIS may challenge composition, dose, novel-food status or medicinal presentation.
Classification (supplement vs FSMP vs fortified food vs medicinal product) is a legal call, not a marketing one. A mistake at launch means withdrawal and an administrative dispute.
Label, composition and notification should be aligned before first sale. Support: supplemental.pl.

How to notify a dietary supplement?
In Poland a notification of a food supplement is filed with the Chief Sanitary Inspector (GIS) through the electronic system. The file includes composition, posology and the label. GIS may request supplements or challenge the product’s classification (e.g. as FSMP or novel food). It is a notification, not an authorisation — GIS may still object.
