Intertek provides scientific and regulatory support for substantiation of health claims for foods and dietary supplements in major jurisdictions worldwide. Health claims on food labels and advertising are a representation that a relationship exists between consumption of a food and health. It is an effective way to communicate to consumers the health benefits of the food or dietary supplement. Most countries have regulations and scientific standards in place to ensure that health claims are scientifically substantiated. The regulations and scientific requirements for substantiating health claims can differ based on the jurisdiction of interest, the type of claim, and the product of interest. Intertek’s health claim experts have in-depth knowledge of the hurdles to substantiating health claims and can assist you with the preparation of the necessary scientific evidence and claim substantiation applications to government agencies.
