A nutrient claim is a claim which implies that a food has a particular beneficial nutritional properties due to the energy in it, the nutritients or the substances in it. Fiber, for example, is a nutrient claim that has to be on any product. According to the EU Regulation, a claim that a food is high in fibre, and any claim likely to have the same meaning for the consumer, may only be made where the product contains at least 6 g of fibre per 100 g or at least 3 g of fibre per 100 kcal.
A nutrient content claim is different than a health claim. A nutrient content claim is a statement about the amount of a nutrient found in a food. Choosing foods with nutrient content claims will help you get more of certain nutrients like calcium and fibre and less of other nutrients like sodium and sugar. For example Low fat" and "High fiber" are both examples of nutrient content claims. These types of claims usually appear on the front of a package, calcium for healthy bones and teeth.
