The product is a food preparation presented in the form of capsules. The casing is a factor that, together with the content, determines the use and character of the product as a food supplement (see judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union in joined cases C-410/08 to C-412/08 ‘Swiss Caps’, [2009] ECR p. I-11991, paragraphs 29 and 32).
