Position on "Prebiotic Claim"
The use of the term “prebiotic” is currently not officially permitted, however, there are several food supplements on the notified list with names referring to “prebiotics”. Use of the term “prebiotics” would therefore have to be incorporated in the name rather than a claim on the product.
