Nutritional claims are statements made on food packaging that highlight specific health benefits or nutritional content. These claims can include terms like "low fat," "high in fiber," or "sugar-free." They help consumers make informed choices about the foods they eat by providing quick information about the product's nutritional value. There are two main types of nutritional claims: nutrient content claims and health claims. Nutrient content claims describe the level of a nutrient in a food, while health claims link a food or ingredient to a specific health benefit, such as reducing the risk of heart disease.
