Digitization of the notification process for health-promoting foods

Customer Profile

  • Size of the organization: A nationwide institution with an extensive structure.
  • Main challenges: Inefficiency of the manual reporting system, low effectiveness of verification of notifications, limited transparency towards consumers.

Customer activity

The Chief Sanitary Inspectorate (GIS), as the central body of the State Sanitary Inspectorate, is responsible for activities in the area of epidemiology, environmental hygiene, food and nutrition safety, supervision of chemicals, control, promotion and health education.

In the face of the growing number of notifications of dietary supplements, functional and specialty foods, GIS needed a tool to support the efficient and compliant handling of product launch notifications.

Challenges

Time-consuming reporting and verification process – manual handling of requests required a lot of work and extended response time.

Lack of automation of compliance analysis – products were placed on the market without effective verification with current food law regulations.

Difficult communication with entrepreneurs – the lack of a central channel hindered the exchange of information and increased the number of formal errors.

GIS was looking for a solution that would speed up processes, increase the transparency of inspection activities and minimize the risk of marketing products that do not meet legal requirements.

Solutions

TTSW built and implemented the Health-Promoting Food Notification System (SPOŻ), operating as part of the central Registration System of the State Sanitary Inspection (SEPiS). Key activities included:
