Health Claims Regulation

The Health Claims Regulation is a set of rules that ensure any health-related claims on food labels and advertising are accurate, truthful, and scientifically supported. Its goal is to protect consumers from false or misleading information about how a product may affect health. Manufacturers must provide evidence to back up their claims before they can be made official. This regulation helps consumers make informed choices and promotes transparency and trust in the food industry. It applies primarily within the European Union, ensuring consistent standards across member countries.
