Around the World - Legal Aspects of Functional Food and Dietary Supplements in Medicinal Foods Around the World

USA

Oct 25, 2024

Consumers prefer functional food products because of the rising recognition of diet’s critical role in human Health. Current research describes the international regulatory framework for health-related claims in functional food items and the state of the cheese products industry, emphasizing those with-related claims. These claims should only be allowed on the labels of functional food items with strict oversight. Claims in the United States, Asian countries (Japan, India, South Korea, Hong Kong, China, and Taiwan), and Europe share some similarities, but each region has its own rules for how and when such claims can be used. Consumers are receptive to functional products that make health claims, and many of these products make several claims. Consumers could benefit from this assessment to make more educated food choices; the food sector could use it better to advertise its products with an eye toward international trade. It will accelerate market growth by encouraging companies to promote safe and effective supplements and functional foods.
