The European Commission has proposed a Regulation on Nutrition and Health Claims Made on Foods and the draft text is being discussed by the European Parliament and the Council. The aim of the Regulation is to limit misleading or confusing marketing claims on food products and help consumers to make informed choices about their food purchases and diet.
EPHA has extensively consulted its members organisations and produced a position paper on the draft Regulation, highlighting the importance of the overall nutritional profile of the food product rather than a specific ingredient.
