Total Diet & Meal Replacements Europe (TDMR Europe) is the leading European trade association representing manufacturers and distributors of total diet replacement (TDR) and meal replacement products (MRPs) focused on supporting weight loss and weight management among overweight and obese individuals. Registered with the EU Transparency Register since May 11, 2016, TDMR Europe coordinates industry-wide engagement with regulatory bodies, disseminates technical and regulatory expertise, and aims to improve awareness of scientifically-backed specialist food products for obesity prevention and management.
Acting as a central voice for the industry, TDMR Europe works closely with EU institutions, policymakers, and a wide network of stakeholders to promote sensible and proportionate European legislation governing slimming foods. The organization advocates for regulations that recognize both the efficacy and safety of TDRs and MRPs, emphasizing their role in reducing the prevalence of obesity and related diseases across Europe. It also supports its members in understanding and complying with the ever-evolving regulatory landscape, particularly concerning compositional and labeling requirements set by EU law.
All members adhere to a strict Code of Conduct that goes beyond basic legal compliance, supporting ethical and fair business practices industry-wide. The association is committed to transparency, competition law compliance, and active participation in relevant European policy dialogues. TDMR Europe’s members operate in most major European markets, engaging with local and EU-level authorities to shape public policy that impacts the broader slimming foods sector. In addition to regulatory advocacy, TDMR Europe plays a key role in collecting market statistics, issuing communications regarding legislative changes, and providing industry insights to the scientific community and mass media
