2.

In the labelling, presentation and advertising of foodstuffs for normal consumption the following shall be prohibited: the use of the adjectives ‘dietetic’ or ‘dietary’ either alone or in conjunction with other words, to designate those foodstuffs; all other markings or any presentation likely to give the impression that one of the products referred to in Article 1 is involved. However, in accordance with provisions to be adopted by the Commission, it shall be possible for foodstuffs for normal consumption which are suitable for a particular nutritional use to indicate such suitability. Such provisions may lay down the arrangements for indicating that suitability. The measures referred to in the second subparagraph, designed to amend non-essential elements of this Directive by supplementing it, shall be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 15(3).
