UK list of health claims: information from FSA Wales

Friday 27 October 2006

A new European regulation, aimed at increasing consumer protection in relation to nutrition and health claims made on food, will require such claims to be on a Community list of permitted claims.

Under the new legislation, Member States will be responsible for compiling those health claims eligible to be considered for the Community list. Although this legislation is yet to come into effect, the Agency has already opened its list for food businesses to submit eligible claims.

FSA Wales has produced a letter to guide stakeholders through this process, and this letter is attached at the link below. There is also a link to the section of the Agency website that gives further information and access to the template for submitting claims, along with the up-to-date table of UK health claims.
