I will contact my supplier and, if there seems to be a problem, order as much as they deem it prudent, to store.
There is probably a definition of "manufactured" somewhere in the preamble, ( they usually have a list of such definitions in these things) but tbh I can't be bothered to look for it! However no doubt the Holland & Barretts of this world will do so and ensure that they comply, so things like Fenugreek, etc, are unlikely to be a problem because those are bread-and-butter lines. Similarly if H & B or another mainstream retailer decided to stock PM, they would ensure that they or their suppliers did register it before putting it on the shelves. It's only because nobody on the High Street stocks it and we have to get it from 'secondary' suppliers that there is an unknown situation.
