The authorised claims, word for word
| Authorised claim | Conditions of use |
|---|---|
| Replacing digestible starches with resistant starch in a meal contributes to a reduction in the blood glucose rise after that meal. | The claim may be used only for food in which digestible starch has been replaced by resistant starch so that the final content of resistant starch is at least 14 % of total starch. |
