GB Non-Authorised Health Claims: G to K
Compiled and maintained by the Wellgard Scientific Editorial Team · Official register version: 19 May 2026 · Page updated: 17 October 2026 · Sources checked on: 16 October 2026
This page reproduces the health claims recorded in the Great Britain Nutrition and Health Claims Register as assessed and not authorised, for register headings beginning G to K, with the register's reason in each case. Compiled from the Department of Health and Social Care's published register, it covers England, Scotland and Wales. A refused wording may not be used on a food, drink or food supplement sold in Great Britain, and nor may a wording likely to mean the same to the consumer. That is a judgement on a wording against a legal test, not a finding about the substance, and it is a different status from "on hold", which means never assessed. The authorised claims, with their conditions of use, are on the main pages: vitamins, minerals and other substances and foods.
This is Wellgard's reproduction and explanation of official data. It is not a government website, a product approval, or a substitute for assessing the applicable law and conditions of use. The GOV.UK register is the authoritative source.
How to read the table
-
Heading: the register's own name for the nutrient, substance, food or food category, in alphabetical order; each heading has a fixed link (anchors begin
#na-) and each row its own link, built from the heading and the register entry number. - Claim wording: the wording as submitted, verbatim.
- Reason for non-authorisation: verbatim from the register.
- Health relationship and Scientific opinion: the register's description of the relationship assessed, and the EFSA Journal reference or the UK Nutrition and Health Claims Committee opinion.
- Status: as the register records it, with the article of the regulation and the entry number.
This page lists 198 of the register's 2,082 non-authorised claims, for 99 headings beginning G to K; the other letters are on the sibling pages linked above. 145 entries across the six pages whose heading or wording names a commercial product, or carries a trade mark symbol or a branded strain code, are left to the register spreadsheet on gov.uk.

Glossary
- Source of
- For a vitamin or mineral, a significant amount: 15% of the nutrient reference value per 100 g or 100 ml, 7.5% per 100 ml for a drink, or 15% in the daily dose of a supplement (Regulation 1169/2011, Annex XIII; Regulation 1924/2006, Annex). For fibre, 3 g per 100 g or 1.5 g per 100 kcal. For protein, at least 12% of the food's energy.
- "The claim may be used only for food which"
- The opening words of most conditions of use: the test is applied to the food as sold, not to an ingredient on its own, and a food that does not meet it cannot carry the claim (Regulation (EU) No 432/2012).
- On hold
- Botanical claims submitted under Article 13 in 2008 that the European Commission paused in 2010 and that Great Britain inherited unassessed. Neither authorised nor rejected; their continued use is a transitional arrangement under the responsibility of the business, subject to the general requirements of the regulation (GOV.UK on-hold list).

- A wording that appears on none of these pages has not been assessed in either direction. It is a search result, not a judgement on the substance.
Frequently asked questions
What does "non-authorised" mean?
The wording was submitted, assessed and refused: most often because a cause and effect relationship was not established on the evidence assessed, or because the claimed effect was not a beneficial physiological effect, or the food was not sufficiently characterised. The register gives the reason against each entry.
Can a non-authorised wording be used if it is reworded?
No. A refused wording may not be used, and nor may a wording likely to have the same meaning for the consumer. Flexibility of wording applies to authorised claims only.
Does a refusal mean the substance has no benefit?
No. A refusal is a judgement on a specific wording against a legal test at the time of assessment. It is not a finding that the substance does nothing, and it is a different status from "on hold", which means never assessed.
