Can consumers rely on nutrition claims?
Nutrition claims must meet specific government regulations. Manufacturers can only use a specific nutrition claim if their product meets the criteria in the regulations. The approved nutrition claims may highlight a nutritional feature of a food or a relationship between diet and disease. New requirements for existing nutrition claims as well as new claims are based on current science and are consistent with dietary recommendations and public health needs so that they are credible and useful for consumers and health professionals.
