Regulation on foods and referring to children’s development and health

This procedure concerns the European Commission's decision to reject a specific health claim intended for food products. The claim suggested that the food contributes to the development and health of children, but it did not meet the required scientific standards for authorization.

This affects food manufacturers and marketers who intended to use this specific health claim on their packaging. It ensures that health claims on children's food are based on solid evidence to protect consumers from misleading information.
