Foods, nutrients and food ingredients with authorised EU health claims

This book provides a comprehensive overview of foods and food substances that have achieved approved health claims in Europe under Regulation EC 1924/2006. Chapters cover properties and applications of each ingredient, evidence for the health claim and how it benefits consumers, the importance of each claim in product development and marketing and regulatory issues such as conditions of use. Part one presents an overview of the regulatory background to health claims. Part two covers authorised claims for disease risk reduction claims, children’s development and health claims and claims based on emerging science. Part three covers ingredients with permitted ‘general function’ claims, and part four looks at foods and nutrients with permitted health claims.
