See the speech by Commissioner David Byrne at

> A couple of articles in the press, most notably the Independent 4/3/03
> pg 17, mention a new draft proposal 'banning companies from claiming
> products promote health or wellbeing in a general way or concentration
> or mood'. New guidelines will police claims such as "full-fibre" or
> "sugar-free" by giving strict guidelines of what standards must be met
> to justify such claims.
>
> I've checked through all the usual sources & espescially the European
> Commission for Food and Consumer Protection but I'm not finding anything
> directly on this point and recently. I'd be happy with even a press
> release confirming the press stories that one is coming - anything!!
>
> Unfortunately, I don't have a proper title or date. Any help very very
> gratefully received!
