Description

According to the Swiss regulation, the origin of the main ingredient is only required if it is present in significant quantities and if otherwise the consumer could be misled about the true origin of this ingredient. The proposed regulation aims to reduce barriers to trade by permitting the indication of larger geographical areas (e.g. "EU") as indication of origin. However, this regulation applies to voluntary indications only.Alignement of the relevant Swiss Ordinance Annex 14 covering health claims to Commission Regulation (EU) No 432/2012 of 16 May 2012 establishing a list of permitted health claims made on food products, other than those referring to the reduction of disease risk and to children’s development and health, last modified with Commission Regulation (EU) 2021/686.
