Chromium picolinate has been added to the list of ingredients permitted for use in food supplements in the EU. Coinciding with this announcement, Nutrition 21, Inc., Purchase, NY, has reached an agreement with Ingredia Nutritionals, Arras, France, to distribute its Chromax chromium picolinate and Diachrome ingredients throughout the EU and selected markets in the Middle East, Africa and Asia. The revised list of approved ingredients that can be used in EU food supplements, which now includes chromium picolinate, was published in the Official Journal of the European Union. Although the sale of chromium picolinate has been previously allowed in the UK, it can now be sold in all other EU countries.
