Oświadczenia żywieniowe — EFSA
Czy Państwa oświadczenia żywieniowe są dokładne i skuteczne?
Stosowanie precyzyjnych etykiet z informacjami żywieniowymi na produktach zwiększa zaufanie konsumentów. Warto przeanalizować, czy dany produkt zawiera konkretne składniki odżywcze, charakteryzuje się niską lub wysoką zawartością określonych komponentów, dostarcza energii czy też jest niskokaloryczny. Aby formułować rzetelne oświadczenia zdrowotne i żywieniowe zgodne z wymogami EFSA, zachęcamy do skorzystania z naszej bazy danych informacji żywieniowych w celu identyfikacji i weryfikacji atrybutów, które trafiają w potrzeby współczesnych konsumentów dbających o zdrowie.
Poniżej znajduje się tabela oświadczeń żywieniowych zatwierdzonych przez EFSA, które mogą być stosowane na rynku europejskim.
