Comparison of Health Claim Frameworks Between the U.S., EU, and Other Jurisdictions
Health claims on food labels and advertising can be a valuable tool in the marketing of foods to consumers in general or to specific populations. These claims are a representation that a relationship exists between consumption of a food and a consumer’s health. Many countries, states, and other worldwide jurisdictions have regulations in place to ensure that health claims are scientifically substantiated but the regulatory frameworks for using health claims in these markets differs between jurisdictions. This webinar, presented by Dr. Kathy Musa-Veloso of Intertek Scientific & Regulatory Consultancy, will clarify how health claims are regulated in major markets, including the US, the EU, Canada, Australia, and Japan and provide insights into current trends in foods and health claims.
