The regulatory pathway differs from pharmaceutical trials (food products are not IMPs), but studies must still meet rigorous scientific and ethical standards.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">The Central Committee on Research Involving Human Subjects (CCMO), the Dutch national body overseeing medical research ethics, has published specific guidance for nutrition research, including a decision tree to determine whether a study qualifies as food research under the WMO.
