Almost six years after the adoption of the Health Claims Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 the new Commission Regulation (EU) No 432/2012 establishing a list of permitted health claims for use on foods entered into force mid-December 2012. The new legal framework has enormous influence on food advertising, the product development in food enterprises, foodstuff monitoring and nutrition science.
