Dietary Supplements Under Tightened Scrutiny: How the 2026 Reform Could Reshape the Polish Market

Publication date: July 07, 2026

The Polish dietary supplements market is facing the most significant regulatory overhaul in years. The draft amendment to the Act on Food and Nutrition Safety and the Act on the State Sanitary Inspectorate introduces a series of far-reaching changes that will substantially alter the way supplements are notified, monitored, advertised, and supervised in Poland. While the reform does not formally introduce a pre-market authorization system, it undeniably strengthens the position of regulatory authorities and increases the compliance burden imposed on businesses operating in the sector.

What is a family foundation under Polish law?

Publication date: November 12, 2025

A family foundation is a relatively new institution in Polish law, introduced two years ago by the Act of January 26, 2023, on Family Foundations. The ability to establish such an entity was introduced primarily to enable entrepreneurs to secure the succession of their businesses in an undivided form, as well as to ensure the implementation of their own vision for managing them even longer after the founder’s death. Only a natural person with full legal capacity can be the founder of a family foundation. They can establish the foundation and designate its beneficiaries—themselves, relatives, or public benefit organizations—in their will or deed of incorporation. Both deeds should be executed by a notary. Unlike an Anglo-Saxon trust, a family foundation is not a legal relationship but a separate legal entity. Upon establishment, it acquires legal capacity and becomes a so-called “imperfect legal person.”

DUE DILIGENCE CLAUSES IN LABORATORY EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS AND THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES OF VIOLATING THEM VS. GOOD LABORATORY PRACTICE

Publication date: November 12, 2025

What essentially is GLP?

The problem of regulating diligence clauses in employment contracts in the laboratory industry is essential on the basis of Polish and EU law. These issues shall also consider the general consequences of breaching employee obligations in the form of the so-called Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) principles.

For some time in the business turnover we can observe the practice of including in employment contracts clauses concerning professionalism and professional diligence in the actions of future employees. As a rule, the clause at issue imposes an obligation on the employee to perform their tasks in a professional manner, adequate to their position and in accordance with standard operating procedures. In addition, all actions of the prospective employee must conform to the recommendations and directives of the supervisor and comply with the applicable law.

The laboratory industry is no exception in this area. It imposes an obligation on employees and contractors to act not only diligently but also based on the principles of Good Laboratory Practice. These principles have been in place since 1978 and regulate issues such as quality assurance in drug testing and development, the prevention of pharmaceutical scandals, and ensuring performance standards for laboratory areas. In addition, the principles regulate such key issues as staffing, space requirements and the quality of equipment and inspection processes for laboratory areas.
