Diet & Health Products
Discover our unique approach to uncover quality.
Evaluation process
Monde Selection delivers impartial and independent evaluations. Each diet and health product is meticulously assessed by a panel of independent experts using precise methodologies and criteria.
Our scientific committee carefully examines every aspect of the product, including ingredients, nutritional information, health claims, and active substances. Laboratory analyses may also be conducted to ensure a thorough evaluation.
The committee’s mission includes verifying the alignment between the product’s claims and its actual effectiveness, based on scientific data. Both the intrinsic qualities of the product and the communication between the producer and consumer are critically assessed.
Each product is analyzed based on two main axes, ensuring a comprehensive and fair evaluation.

Consumer Information analysis
Monde Selection’s scientific committee meticulously reviews all packaging and advertising materials for each submitted product. This includes examining ingredient lists, active substance quantities, health and nutrition claims, as well as usage instructions and precautionary statements.
Our experts also ensure that product labeling complies with national and international food regulations, such as European food laws, the Japanese Food Labelling Act, and the national standards of the People’s Republic of China, among others.
Scientific evidence
Product evaluation is grounded in scientific literature from recognized health organizations. All claims on the product label must be appropriate and supported by sufficient evidence, considering the ingredients, intended purpose, and target group.
When necessary, laboratory and sensory analyses are conducted to complete the evaluation.
Depending on the product’s type and composition, its intrinsic qualities—chemical, bacteriological, and sensory—may be assessed. Monde Selection adheres to international standards, such as ISO norms, in this process.
Jury Experts
Diet and health products are evaluated by a jury of experts, including nutritionists, health consultants, chemists, engineers, and university professors with extensive experience in the field.
Monde Selection collaborates closely with accredited laboratories such as ECCA and Brucefo to conduct specific analyses on these products.
