Are nutritional supplements and meal replacements, which are exempt from having a Nutrition Facts table, allowed to make nutrient content claims and health claims?
Nutrient content claims for vitamins and mineral nutrients are permitted on nutritional supplements and meal replacements (D.01.004, D.02.002). However, nutrient content claims and health claims provided in the table following sections B.01.513 and B.01.603, which are based on both a serving size and a reference amount established for the food category (Schedule M of the Regulations), may not be made at this time since no reference amounts have been established for these products.
