Health claims on foods
Health claims on foods are statements that link a food or ingredient to a health benefit, such as supporting immune function or reducing disease risk. They are regulated to ensure they are truthful and not misleading. These claims help consumers make informed choices by explaining how certain foods may contribute to health, based on scientific evidence. However, they don’t mean the food can treat or cure medical conditions. It’s important to consider the overall diet and lifestyle, and consult healthcare professionals for personalized health advice.
