Making the Right Claims – Compliantly

Why this is so important for you

Here are some of the typical situations you might recognize when dealing with nutrition and health claims in your organization:

  • You place products on the EU market and want to ensure your claims are compliant with current legislation.

  • Your marketing team wants to promote health benefits, but you're unsure which claims are allowed or how to validate them.

  • A label or advertisement is challenged by QA or regulatory—yet there’s no clear internal process to resolve the issue.

  • You want to use terms like “source of protein” or “good for digestion,” but don’t know whether they’re legally supported.

  • You're preparing for a GFSI audit (IFS, BRCGS, FSSC, etc.) and need to show how your company controls the use of nutrition and health claims.

If you hold an IFS certificate and need to meet the IFS Food v8 requirements (KO#4 4.1.3, 4.3.2, 4.3.6, 4.4.4, 4.5.3, 4.18.4, 4.20.2, 5.10.1) or the IFS Broker requirements (KO#4 4.6.1, 4.3.5, 4.5.4, 4.7.2, 5.6.2), this training will support your compliance efforts. But even beyond IFS, this course is essential for any company placing food products on the EU market and working under any GFSI scheme.

And there might be many other situations…

…the question is: how do you ensure your claims are valid, compliant, and aligned with business goals—while supporting your QA, marketing, and regulatory teams?
