Judgment against Stada: Inadmissible histamine advertising - financial expert gives legal assessment
According to a report from www.presseportal.de, a court case has shown that the advertising claim for the dietary supplement “Daosin” from the manufacturer Stada is inadmissible. The product was intended to support the breakdown of histamine in the intestine and was therefore aimed at people with histamine intolerance. The Frankfurt/Main regional court confirmed the legal opinion of the North Rhine-Westphalia consumer center and decided that the advertising had an inadmissible health reference. People with histamine intolerance cannot tolerate certain foods, such as cheese or red wine. Advertising for dietary supplements containing the enzyme diamine oxidase promises trouble-free digestion of these foods.

Judgment against Stada: Inadmissible histamine advertising - financial expert gives legal assessment
According to a report by www.presseportal.de,
A court case has shown that the advertising claim for the dietary supplement “Daosin” from the manufacturer Stada is inadmissible. The product was intended to support the breakdown of histamine in the intestine and was therefore aimed at people with histamine intolerance. The Frankfurt/Main regional court confirmed the legal opinion of the North Rhine-Westphalia consumer center and decided that the advertising had an inadmissible health reference.
People with histamine intolerance cannot tolerate certain foods, such as cheese or red wine. Advertising for dietary supplements containing the enzyme diamine oxidase promises trouble-free digestion of these foods. However, there is a lack of scientific evidence for the effectiveness of such products. The consumer advice center has filed a lawsuit against Stada's advertising claims, as health-related claims are only permitted in advertising for dietary supplements if they have been officially tested and approved.
The Frankfurt/Main regional court confirmed this opinion and emphasized that the human intestine is not a test tube in which any reaction takes place. An appeal was lodged against the verdict. People with suspected histamine intolerance are advised to speak to a doctor or nutritionist rather than taking questionable dietary supplements. Dietary supplements are not allowed to prevent or cure diseases, so such advertising is possible to a limited extent if it corresponds to the wording tested and approved by the EU.
The verdict against Stada and the inadmissible advertising claim for “Daosin” has a potential impact on the market for dietary supplements. Manufacturers must now carefully check whether their advertising claims are health-related and have been officially tested and approved. This may make consumers more critical of such products and more likely to seek medical advice before taking dietary supplements.
