The Office for Health Improvement and Disparities have launched a consultation on proposed changes to nutrition labelling, composition, and standards (NLCS) retained EU law.
The nutrition and health claims regulations ensure that claims made about a food or drink are accurate and not misleading so that consumers can make informed choices to meet their lifestyle and nutritional needs.
This consultation sets out 2 proposals:
· reforming nutrition and health claims enforcement in England by introducing an improvement notices regime.
