Food Labelling Services comments:

All nutrition and health claims have to be authorised on the Nutrition and Health Claims Register (NHCR) and comply with the criteria of the claim, before they can be declared on packaging. Food bearing claims that could mislead consumers are prohibited on the EU market. 

There are also compositional and labelling requirements for foods intended to be used in energy restricted diets for weight reduction. These foods are Total diet replacement products for weight control and Meal replacement products for weight control.
