Food & Nutrition Research

Food & Nutrition Research is an international peer-reviewed Open Access journal published by Co-Action Publishing on behalf of the Swedish Nutrition Foundation. As one of the first Open Access journals in its field, Food & Nutrition Research offers an important forum for researchers to exchange the latest results from research on human nutrition broadly and food-related nutrition in particular.

Nutrition and health claims

In Sweden the possibility to use health claims in the labelling and marketing of
foods was introduced in 1990, when the Food Sector’s Code of Practice was
established in close contact with the competent authorities. Since 1 July 2007 a
EU-Regulation (no 1924/2006) on nutrition and health claims applies in all EU member states. The principals of the former Swedish Code of Practice, the Swedish Food Federation and the Swedish Food Retailers Federation, have decided to maintain a “support programme” to help actors within the Swedish food sector to apply the Regulation in a practice, and to do so in a responsible matter. SNF has a coordinating and consultative role within this programme. Consultations are primarily given in issues related to scientific substantiation of claims.
