EU Food Law
from a practitioner's perspective

Who I Am and What I Do

For over fifteen years I have worked at the intersection of food law, food supplements and business practice. I advise on product launches, regulatory risk analysis, labelling, nutrition and health claims and marketing communications.

My experience spans both the private sector and public administration. I represented Poland in proceedings before the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) and the EFTA Court.

Why the Food Industry

For many years I was responsible for the legal affairs of a food supplements brand, working on over 50 new products - from composition and ingredient status, through labelling, to distribution agreements and marketing.

I specialise in categories that are regulatory-complex: food supplements, fortified food, novel food and CBD. My work combines legal analysis with understanding of scientific research and market data.

Practical Approach

• I work on real regulatory risks, not abstract interpretations;
• I combine the perspective of a lawyer, an in-house food company professional and an external adviser;
• I ensure recommendations are understandable to marketing, R&D and management - not just lawyers.

Technology in Practice

In compliance projects I use AI tools for document analysis, compliance monitoring and team training. This has allowed me to reduce document review time by approximately 40% while maintaining a high level of regulatory safety.

Product Launches

Comprehensive advisory on bringing over 50 new products to market in the food supplements and functional food segment - including composition analysis, ingredient legal status, labelling, claims and marketing materials.

EU Compliance Strategy

Developing a quality control approach for regulatory documents for products sold across multiple EU markets, including documentation standardisation and implementation of AI tools for material verification.

CJEU and EFTA Court Proceedings

Preparation of written submissions and opinions in proceedings concerning the food market and EU regulations, including representing a state before the Court of Justice of the EU and the EFTA Court.
