Ministers also agreed that the claim “Three portions of dairy food everyday, as part of a balanced diet, may help promote a healthy body weight during childhood and adolescence” should be banned.
The Council also rejected a series of child health claims for foods containing the additives docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), including claims that they help vision, mental development, calming and serenity to children.
