Hi Rosie,
This is just the beginning. People were worried in 2010:

I read on a UK herbalist site that the new EU regulations have become effective on April 30th, 2011. My understanding is that supplements claiming health benefits cannot be imported any more, unless the claims can be substantiated. Then it's logical that MSM is among the first victims.
Note that this is about the health claims. It is possible that, if the people who mailed it to you would have glued a sticker over the health claims on the bottle, there would be no problem
