Amongst preventative interventions, food products having certain health effects and IVD’s evaluating health aspects can play an important role. Gaining evidence for substantiating health effects and evaluation of personal health requires processing of personal data. As of 25 May 2018, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will apply. Compared to current law, the GDPR is far more detailed and prescriptive in requirements and introduces new regulatory concepts that will impact the health & nutrition industry severely.
