Mandatory attributes
We have updated or changed several mandatory attributes due to legal requirements:
- Allergens – previously, this attribute was an open text field. We have changed this to a new attribute where all applicable allergens can be selected.
- Substance – the form of the item
- Composition of daily substances – the daily vitamins and minerals present in the item (in grams) and the percentage of the daily reference intake (DRI) of the respective substance. This is an open text field, and it is important to list all substances present in your item.
For the latter (composition of daily substances), we have created a step-by-step plan to help you fill in the attributes. Download it here: Content - Composition of daily substances new.
Enforcement
From March 4, 2025, we will check and enforce whether the legally mandatory content is correctly filled in. Items that do not comply (missing content and incorrectly filled in content) will be taken offline until the mandatory attributes are correctly filled in. Items that are correctly filled in after enforcement will automatically come back online.
