Register published 19 May 2026 · Last updated:
Short answer. There is 1 authorised health claim for Non-digestible carbohydrates on the Great Britain nutrition and health claims register (published 19 May 2026). Each can be used only if your product meets its conditions of use, and in its authorised wording or wording with the same meaning.
The authorised claims, word for word
| Authorised claim | Conditions of use |
|---|---|
| Consumption of foods/drinks containing <name of all used non-digestible carbohydrates> instead of sugars induces a lower blood glucose rise after their consumption compared to sugar-containing foods/drinks. | In order to bear the claim, sugars should be replaced in foods or drinks by non-digestible carbohydrates, which are carbohydrates neither digested nor absorbed in the small intestine, so that foods or drinks contain reduced amounts of sugars by at least the amount referred to in the claim REDUCED [NAME OF NUTRIENT] as listed in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. |
