FUNCTIONAL FOOD PRODUCTS IN THE EUROPEAN LEGISLATIVE FRAME
A series of studies showed increased awareness of importance of healthy eating, which opened a range of possibilities for new types of products, called functional products or functional foods. The concept of functional foods is conceived in Japan thirty five years ago, and today food industry around the world bases its development on this segment. Functional food products have a very high rate of growth. The trend of a healthy diet based on natural ingredients requires greater transparency and more information about these products and their impact on the health and wellbeing. In order to place such foods on the market and to emphasize its impact on health, it is of great importance to comply with existing legislation. Many countries in the region still do not have regulations governing this area. Regulation (EC) No. 1924/2006 on nutrition and health claims made on foods (with amendments) and Directive 2009/39/EC on foodstuffs intended for particular nutritional uses, are of high importance for this group of products. Law on food with health claims and food enriched with nutrients (Official Gazette No. 39/13) and the Law for food with particular nutritional purposes (Official Gazette No. 39/13) are currently valid in Croatia. These regulations include procedures for official notification and scientific studies that confirm the positive effect of these foods on human health. Furthermore, in order to successfully implement, monitor and supervise such food, it is necessary to have an updated Register of approved claims that can be placed on the food declaration. After a long time debate, the European Union managed to regulate the area of food with added values as well as the requirements when and under what conditions these foods can be marketed.
