The UK-based Alliance for Natural Health (ANH) is preparing legal action against a new EU law due to take effect on May 1 2011 which could ban thousands of traditional herbal medicines and threatens to drive consumers online to buy unregulated black market supplies.

The organisation’s science and communication officer Adam Smith told NutraIngredients.com: “We plan to take the EU to judicial review of this law and there could be a human rights issue if people are denied traditional products they want to use.”
