What is a nutrition claim?

Updated by SFA
Nutrition claims are claims that suggest or imply that a food has a nutritive property, or claims that compare the nutritive property of foods in terms of energy, salt (sodium or potassium), amino acids, carbohydrates, cholesterol, fats, fatty acids, fibre, protein, starch or sugars, vitamins or minerals, or any other nutrients. Examples of nutrition claims are "Low in calories", "Sugar free"" and “Reduced sodium". Nutrition and health claims are under the purview of HPB. Please refer to the Health Promotion Board (HPB) website for more information.
