What health agencies say

An opinion says what the agency recommends; it is not a rule binding on the product.

AFSSA considered it appropriate to state on the label that the product is not recommended for people allergic to bromelain. At the time, it considered that there was no need to set a maximum bromelain content. This opinion predates 2012; no more recent official safety opinion specifically addressing bromelain in food supplements was found.

AFSSA, opinion of 30 December 2003, 2003-SA-0161.
