GB Non-Authorised Health Claims: L

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 L, 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 311 of the register's 2,082 non-authorised claims, for 174 headings beginning L; 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).
Not listed here
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.
