Pojęcia zdrowej żywności i zdrowego odżywiania w polityce i prawie Unii Europejskiej
Concepts of healthy food and healthy eating in European Union policy and law

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study was to determine how the concepts of healthy food and healthy eating are used in EU policy documents and whether there emerges a coherent understanding of these concepts from them. In pursuing this aim, the authors attempted to define both concepts, by referring to policy document and relevant EU legislation. Among other things, they concluded that under EU law, the use of the title concepts should in practice be regarded as health claims. The absence of nutrient profiles results in an inconsistency between what food companies may refer to as healthy food or healthy eating under EU law and the common understanding of these terms derived from EU policy documents.
