(20) A list of permitted nutrition claims and their specific conditions of use should also be created based on the conditions for the use of such claims that have been agreed at national or international level and laid down in Community legislation. Any claim considered to have the same meaning for consumers as a nutrition claim included in the aforementioned list should be subject to the same conditions of use indicated therein. For example, claims related to the addition of vitamins and minerals such as ‘with …’, ‘restored …’, ‘added …’, or ‘enriched …’ should be subject to the conditions set for the claim ‘source of …’. The list should be regularly updated in order to take into account scientific and technological developments. Furthermore, for comparative claims it is necessary that the products being compared be clearly identified to the final consumer.
