Guidance on nutrition and health claims made on foods

Tuesday 13 May 2008

This guidance aims to help food business operators who wish to make claims identify what they must do to comply with European Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 on nutrition and health claims made on foods. It also explains how new claims will be authorised.

The guidance should give you as clear an interpretation of the regulation as possible in the absence of case law. The guidance refers to other relevant guidance, in particular the European Commission guide to interpretation and the European Food Safety Authority guide for applicants on the submission of health claims for an authorisation of a health claim.
