In Japan, the new food labeling act has been enforced since April 2015 and allowed the third official category for health-claim-foods, Food with Function Claims (FFC).
According to the new act, food manufacturers can label the function claim on their products under their own responsibility. FFC must be based on the scientific evidence for both safety and effectiveness. As an additional requirement, the application to the authority should be completed and opened for the public at least two months before marketing.
