Question

Which statements on a label link the use of a food product to certain health risks or benefits?

b.) best-if-used-by dates
c.) Daily Values
d.) health claims

Answer 1

The most likely answer would be D.) Health Claims.

Answer 2

The right answer is health claims.

Nutritional and health claims are claims that communicate or suggest that a food has beneficial nutritional properties. The concept of "nutrition claim" is a variation of the position of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO): claims relating to nutrition in food labeling. For some products, the risks and dangers of allergy or toxicity exist or could exist for the fetus, for the pregnant woman, for the breastfed child in the case of a normal use and a fortiori in case of misuse of these products.

In connection with the environmental labeling, these claims are the subject of reflections for ethical rules, legal and traceability framing.
