I help dietary supplement and functional food brands get FDA and EFSA compliant faster, and without the reformulation surprises. As a food scientist, MSc graduate, and active PhD researcher, I review supplement labels, formulation documentation, structure/function claims, and Supplement Facts panels at the intersection of science and regulatory law. Most compliance failures I see come from one place. The label, formulation, and claims were never reviewed together. A panel that looks correct fails when cross-checked against the ingredient COA. A claim that clears FDA triggers an EFSA upper limit. I catch these before they reach manufacturing, Amazon review, or retailer QA.I help dietary supplement and functional food brands identify and correct regulatory, labelling, and product formulation risks before submission, manufacturing, or retail review. My work supports Product Development across Food & Supplements and Food & Beverage categories, with a focus on FDA and EFSA regulated products. My reviews typically cover: - Product formulation and ingredient verification in terms of GRAS status, dosage justification, safety limits, stability considerations - Label compliance and claims review reviewing Supplement Facts or Nutrition Panels, structure/function claims, FDA and EFSA wording - Food science, chemistry, and food engineering alignment to help determine shelf-life logic, nutrient integrity, formulation feasibility. - Technical documentation and traceability including COAs, ingredient sourcing records, substantiation summaries, QA documentation - Product and recipe development support to support formulation refinement, nutrition alignment, and early stage risk screening for new or revised products. Each engagement follows a structured, scientific, and regulatory evidence-based process. Findings are documented with clear regulatory rationale and practical correction steps, allowing teams to move forward efficiently and with confidence. Most of my clients use my findings to: - Finalize FDA-compliant labels with minimal or no revision - Clear internal Quality Assurance, regulatory, and retail compliance checks - Support investor, auditor, or partner review during product development or scale-up Here is what previous clients have said: “Sihle went above and beyond to resolve our isomalt cooking and storage issue. The solution was practical, technically sound, and delivered quickly.” “Her label compliance review was detailed and well-explained. Each recommendation was supported by regulatory reasoning, and all questions were addressed clearly. Highly recommend.” I offer targeted compliance reviews, including a 24-hour Compliance Snapshot that identifies high-risk regulatory, formulation, or labelling gaps and provides clear guidance for corrections before launch or submission. If you need a decisive compliance assessment grounded in food science, chemistry, and FDA requirements with documentation you can confidently defend, feel free to reach out and let’s review your product before it becomes a problem...
