食品上与健康有关的声明影响着消费者及其食品偏好。尽管欧洲联盟在2006年提供了监管背景，但没有一个欧洲国家将健康声明的使用限制在高营养质量的食品上。我们使用澳大利亚新西兰食品标准（FSANZ）和欧洲世界卫生组织欧洲区域办事处模型（WHOE）两种营养概况模型评估了斯洛文尼亚市场上标有声明的食品的营养质量，并将结果与所有可用食品的营养质量进行了比较。2015年，我们收集了斯洛文尼亚食品供应中预包装食品的代表性样本数据（n = 6619），并补充了12个月的产品销售数据，以便更准确地评估食品供应。有相当一部分标有任何类型的健康声明的食品营养质量很差。约68%标有健康相关声明的食品通过了FSANZ标准（考虑销售数据时为75%），33%通过了whole模型（考虑销售数据时为56%）。我们的研究结果强调需要对健康相关声明的使用制定更严格的法规，并建立在现有的营养分析知识基础上，以提高标有健康相关声明的食品的营养质量。
Health-related claims on food products influence consumers and their food preferences. None of the European countries have restricted the use of health claims to foods of high nutritional quality despite the regulatory background provided by the European Union in 2006. We evaluated the nutritional quality of foods labelled with claims available in the Slovenian market using two nutrient profile modelsFood Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) and European World Health Organization Regional office for Europe model (WHOE)and compared the results to the nutritional quality of all available foods. Data for prepacked foods in the Slovenian food supply were collected in 2015 on a representative sample (n = 6619) and supplemented with 12-month product sales data for more accurate assessments of the food supply. A considerable proportion of foods labelled with any type of health-related claim was found to have poor nutritional quality. About 68% of the foods labelled with health-related claims passed FSANZ criterion (75% when considering sales data) and 33% passed the WHOE model (56% when considering sales data). Our results highlight the need for stricter regulations for the use of health-related claims and to build upon available nutrient profiling knowledge to improve nutrition quality of foods labeled with health-related claims.
