Sumario:The new European Union (EU) regulation on nutrition and health claims came into force on 19 January 2007. This means that the same rules for use of such claims in advertisements, labelling and presentation of foods, including food supplements, will now be implemented throughout the EU. Some countries have had Codes of Practices allowing certain health claims. Experiences from such Codes, such as in Sweden since 1990, will be useful in implementing the new regulation. When used in a responsible way according to the regulation, health claims may be important in driving product development and assisting consumers in making healthy choices.
