Foods with Nutrient Function Claims

Outline of the Partial Amendment to the Food Labelling Standards based on the Food Labelling Act

Foods with Nutrient Function Claims mean foods that are intended for persons seeking to supplement nutrients and that bear claims indicating the functions of such nutrients. The nutrients subject thereto comprise 20 types (1 fatty acid, 6 minerals, and 13 vitamins). Based on the "Dietary Reference Intakes for Japanese（2025）" and other relevant references, the wording of nutrient function claims and cautions for consumption, and the minimum and maximum levels of nutrients content, will be amended.
