Regulation on foods, other than those referring to the reduction of disease risk and to children’s development and health

This procedure involves a Commission decision to reject a request to use a specific health claim on food packaging. It ensures that only scientifically proven health benefits can be advertised to consumers, preventing misleading marketing regarding the nutritional or health properties of food products.

This affects food manufacturers and producers who sought legal authorization to market their products with these specific health claims. It prevents these companies from using the unauthorized claims in the EU market.
