Labelling and presentation of foods in claims referring to the reduction of disease risk can refer to disease entities (Article 14 sec. 1 point 1, of the Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006); however, all requirements for a specific health claim have to be met. An example of such claim: “Plant sterols have been shown to lower / reduce blood cholesterol, and high cholesterol level is a risk factor for coronary heart disease” - Commission Regulation (EU) No 686/2014 of 20 June 2014 amending Regulations (EC) No 983/2009 and (EU) No 384/2010 as regards the conditions of use of certain health claims related to the lowering effect of plant sterols and plant stanols on blood LDL-cholesterol (Dz. Urz. UE L 18, s. 27).
