The food industry has a long history of providing food products in line with nutritional requirements. Examples are vitamin-enriched margarines, low fat products, and high fibre products. Communication about the nutrition and health aspects of these products is essential, since a consumer cannot 'see' from the product what its health properties are. Governments are regulating health messages to prevent overstatements and misleading of consumers. The discussion on the degree of regulation has intensified because of new developments in the Functional Foods area.
食品行业长期以来一直提供符合营养要求的食品。例如富含维生素的人造黄油、低脂产品和高纤维产品。关于这些产品营养与健康方面的宣传至关重要,因为消费者无法从产品本身“看出”其健康特性。政府正在对健康信息进行监管,以防止夸大其词和误导消费者。由于功能性食品领域的新发展,关于监管程度的讨论愈演愈烈。
