Nutrient Content Claims Defined

A claim that expressly or implicitly characterizes the level of a nutrient in nutrition labeling in a particular food. The claims can be used alone (“low fat,” “good source of Calcium,” and so forth) or in reference to another product (“reduced calories,” “lower in saturated fat,” etc.) The program automatically determines which claims are allowable for the nutrients in your Recipe.  Genesis R&D gives general guidelines and allowable claims. You may display some, none or all of the claims on your Label or packaging. 

If a claim is made about any of the voluntary components, or if a food is fortified or enriched with any of them, nutrition information for these components becomes mandatory.
