Regulation (EU) No 609/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 June 2013 on food intended for infants and young children, food for special medical purposes, and total diet replacement for weight control and repealing Council Directive 92/52/EEC, Commission Directives 96/8/EC, 1999/21/EC, 2006/125/EC and 2006/141/EC, Directive 2009/39/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Commission Regulations (EC) No 41/2009 and (EC) No 953/2009 Text with EEA relevance · European Union

(25) The labelling, presentation or advertising of food covered by this Regulation should not attribute to such food the property of preventing, treating or curing a human disease nor should they imply such properties. Food for special medical purposes, however, is intended for the dietary management of patients with a limited, impaired or disturbed capacity, for example, to take ordinary food because of a specific disease, disorder or medical condition. Reference to the dietary management of diseases, disorders or medical conditions for which the food is intended should not be considered as attribution of the property of preventing, treating or curing a human disease.
