What should I do if my product contains an ingredient that is banned in the EU? If your product contains an ingredient that is banned in the EU, you must immediately cease its distribution and remove the product from the market. Conduct a thorough review of your formulations to identify the banned ingredient and replace it with an acceptable alternative, ensuring compliance with EU regulations. Once the formulation has been revised, you will need to re-submit the product notification through the CPNP. It is also advisable to consult with regulatory experts to navigate the reformulation process and ensure that your products remain compliant with safety and labeling requirements. Proactive management of banned ingredients is crucial for protecting consumer health and maintaining brand integrity (European Commission, 2022).
