Nov 25, 2024
The National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA in Portuguese) has published Technical Note 64/2024/ on Guidance on health claims for nutrients with fully recognized functions in the labeling of packaged foods.
The guidance describes the guidelines on the use of health claims for nutrients with fully recognized functions in foods, in light of the gaps identified in the current regulations, the recurrent questions received by the General Food Management (GGALI in Portuguese) and the need to provide guidelines for carrying out food sanitary control actions, especially in light of the recent changes in the regulatory framework for the regularization of foods under the jurisdiction of the National Health Surveillance System (SNVS in Portuguese).
