The Commission has adopted today a proposal for a regulation on nutrition and health claims on foods. "While we support the principle of establishing a harmonised regulatory framework encompassing all types of claims, including disease risk reduction claims, we strongly oppose any a priori prohibition of claims or exclusion of categories of foods from the possibility of communicating a nutrition or health benefit to the consumer. All claims that are science based and well understood by the consumer should be allowed", stated Jean Martin, CIAA President.
