How are nutrient content claims different to health claims?
What will be an ideal response?
A food product can make a claim about the amount of a nutrient it contains (or does not contain) by using descriptive terms such as free (fat-free yogurt), high (high-fiber crackers), low (low saturated fat cereal), reduced (reduced-sodium soup), and extra lean (extra lean ground beef) as long as it meets the strict criteria designated by the FDA. However, a health claim contains: (1 ) a food or a dietary compound, such as fiber, and (2 ) a corresponding disease or health-related condition that is associated with the substance. For example: The soluble fiber in oats, as part of a heart-healthy diet, can help lower your cholesterol level.
