CONDITIONS OF USE

Authorised does not mean unconditional

01
The food must be at least a source of vitamin D under the applicable ‘source of’ nutrition-claim condition.
02
A wording with the same meaning for consumers is subject to the same conditions; equivalence depends on the complete wording and presentation.
03
Check the Article 10(2) label information, including the importance of a varied, balanced diet and healthy lifestyle and the amount and pattern of consumption needed for the effect.
04
The health-claim authorisation does not authorise the vitamin D source, the finished product or its market placement.

FROM CONDITION TO PRODUCT EVIDENCE

What to collect before using this vitamin d claim

Declared vitamin D amount, units and portion, with the applicable source-of calculation and the actual intake instructions.

Product evidence to collect — editorial review aid, not a new rule or a product verdict
Check	Evidence to collect	Common review trap	Reference
CLAIM CONDITIONEstablish the source-of vitamin D condition	The vitamin D amount and units in the stated portion, plus the documented source-of nutrition-claim qualification basis.	An ingredient name or a pack headline is not evidence of the qualifying amount; reconcile any different units before comparing documents.	Regulation (EU) No 432/2012 ↗
PRODUCT REVIEWPreserve normal immune function in the actual copy	The complete label/product-page/ad wording, audience cues and the target-language version used with the specific authorised claim.	A normal-function claim does not support a promise to prevent colds or flu, or automatically clear a stronger-immunity headline.	Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 ↗
PRODUCT REVIEWReview the complete label and consumer-facing copy	The exact label version, serving instructions, Article 10 information and surrounding headline, images and wording in the target language.	A source-of calculation or an authorised sentence does not assess the complete presentation. Do not assume every surface has identical repetition obligations.	Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 ↗
PRODUCT REVIEWKeep permission to use the claim separate from product eligibility	The matching register entry and legal act, alongside the exact supplier material/source form and product-category review.	General-use claim status is not approval of a source form, finished formulation or market placement.	EU Register of nutrition and health claims ↗

Collection is not clearance.

These requests help prepare a review. They do not verify your documents, calculate eligibility or refresh the source-check date above. Product review is wider than the claim’s specific conditions of use.

COMMON MARKETING VARIANTS

Where wording begins to drift

These are Suppvera’s illustrative review examples, not entries copied from the EU Register. A variant is assessed in its full consumer-facing context.

AUTHORISED WORDING

“Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system.”

Exact wording in the current consolidated Article 13 list. Product-level conditions still apply.

EQUIVALENCE REVIEW

“Vitamin D supports normal immune system function.”

A common paraphrase. Confirm that consumers receive the same meaning and that no nearby copy strengthens the effect.

CONTEXT NEEDED

“Everyday immune support with vitamin D.”

Compressed marketing language can become a general benefit reference; assess the linked specific claim and full presentation.

RISK EXAMPLES

Language that changes the promise

STRONGER EFFECT

“Vitamin D strengthens your immunity.”

‘Strengthens’ may communicate enhancement beyond contributing to normal function.

DISEASE IMPLICATION

“Vitamin D prevents colds and flu.”

Moves from a normal function claim to prevention of named diseases.

NON-CONSUMPTION RISK

“Don’t risk getting sick — take vitamin D every day.”

Suggests that health could be affected by not consuming the product, a category restricted by Article 12.

POLISH MARKET LAYER

Meaning must survive localisation

Assess the meaning for the Polish consumer; a literal translation is not automatically an equivalent permitted wording.

Keep ‘normal function’ intact across label, product page, ads and influencer briefs. Adjacent seasonal or disease copy can change the overall message.
