There are some news about the list of permitted nutrition claims.
With the EU Regulation 1047/2012, published on 9th November, conditions are introduced for the use of the claim “no sodium / salt added” and some additional and specific conditions are provided for the claim “reduced to [name of the nutrient]” with reference to saturated fats and sugars.
