The Distinction Between Medicinal Products and Foodstuffs in Light of Recent German Case Law %X <p>The definition of a ‘medicinal product’ is of critical importance for making a distinction between medicinal products and foods and therefore also in terms of the marketability of specific products. Other factors to consider include product characteristics such as potential health risks arising from the use of a product.
