CASE STUDIES IN HEALTH FOODS Case Study 1. India Case Study of Indian Organic farmers producer Company limited, Kochi, Kerala Introduction This study analysed a case of indian organic farmers producers company limited: (IOFPCL) based at Kochi, Kerala. Triggering factor for formation of Producer Company: Members of IOFPCL are basically dealing with organic farming of high value-low volume commercial crops viz. pepper, cardamom, vanilla, coffee, cocoa, etc Issues for future Consideration: the following issues emerged for future consideration during case study of IOFPCL and interactions with the primary producers. PPCs dealing with agricultural commodities have to essentially focus on productivity enhancement for creating marketing surplus .

SUMMARY From the above dissertation work we have been enlighten with the Comparative Study of Nutraceuticals Registration in different countries. Also discussed about Nutraceutical definitions, types, Registration Procedures for Nutraceuticals and Case Studies in India, Canada & Australia. In India Nutraceutical known as Foods for Special dietary use regulated & registered by FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India), In Canada they known as Natural health products regulated and registered under NHPD (Natural health product Directorate), in Australia they Known as Complementary medicines regulated & registered by TGA (Therapeutic goods Administration) A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF REGULATORY REGISTRATION PROCEDURE OF NUTRACEUTICALS IN INDIA, CANADA AND AUSTRALIA 38. CONCLUSION Nutraceuticals are playing an important role in the development of future therapeutics but it depends on the control of purity, efficacy and safety. Hence, when any new Product/entrant wants to enter in the Nutraceutical market of particular country, it is very important to comply with the regulatory framework of that country, so that the business is run smoothly. The focus areas should be product evaluation for each active ingredient in the context of permissibility, standards and dosage of vitamins/minerals allowed, product classification as per various healthcare laws (legal definition of the product), Country-specific health & label claims and advertising.
