European Union Register on Nutrition and Health Claims

This dataset contains the following information: • Permitted nutrition claims and their conditions of use; • Authorised health claims, their conditions of use and applicable restrictions, if any; • Non-authorised health claims and the reasons for their non-authorisation; • EU legal acts for the specific health claims; • National measures mentioned in Art. 23(3) of Regulation EC 1924/2006. Context: Union rules on nutrition and health claims have been established by Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. The Regulation started to apply on 1 July 2007. This regulation is the legal framework used by food business operators when they want to highlight the particular beneficial effects of their products, in relation to health and nutrition, on the product label or in its advertising. The rules of the Regulation apply to nutrition claims (such as "low fat", "high fibre") and to health claims (such as "Vitamin D is needed for the normal growth and development of bone in children"). The objective of those rules is to ensure that any claim made on a food's labelling, presentation or advertising in the European Union is clear, accurate and based on scientific evidence. Food bearing claims that could mislead consumers are prohibited on the EU market.本数据集包含以下信息： • 获准使用的营养声称及其使用条件； • 获批健康声称、其使用条件及适用限制（若有）； • 未获批健康声称及其未获批准的原因； • 针对特定健康声称的欧盟法律文件； • 《（欧盟）第1924/2006号条例》（Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006）第23条第3款提及的国家措施。 背景：欧盟关于营养与健康声称的统一规则由《（欧盟）第1924/2006号条例》（Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006）确立，该条例于2007年7月1日起正式施行。 本条例为食品经营者在产品标签或广告中宣传产品与健康、营养相关的特定有益功效时，提供了法律适用框架。 本条例的规则适用于营养声称（如“低脂”“高纤维”）及健康声称（如“维生素D是儿童骨骼正常生长发育所必需的”）。 此类规则的制定目标是确保欧盟境内食品标签、展示或广告中出现的所有声称均清晰准确、且以科学证据为依据。 在欧盟市场内，任何可能误导消费者的食品声称均被禁止。
