Labelling of food supplements referring to the phrase ‘probiotic’

23 September 2024.
We would like to remind you of the rules concerning the labelling of food products referring to the expression ‘probiotic’.
Key points to remember:
– However, it is not allowed to indicate the health-promoting effects of probiotics – due to the lack of EU-approved health claims.
– The use of the slogan ‘probiotic’ or ‘contains probiotic’ is, however, permitted once the basic conditions from Regulation 1169/2011 are met.
