Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 on nutrition and health claims made on foods · European Union

Where a Member State has serious grounds for considering that a claim does not comply with this Regulation, or that the scientific substantiation provided for in Article 6 is insufficient, that Member State may temporarily suspend the use of that claim within its territory. It shall inform the other Member States and the Commission and give reasons for the suspension. In accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 24(2), a decision shall be taken, where appropriate after obtaining an opinion from the Authority. The Commission may initiate this procedure on its own initiative. The Member State referred to in paragraph 1 may maintain the suspension until the decision referred to in paragraph 2 has been notified to it.
