The claims made on foods and dietary supplements are important. These claims can help consumers make informed purchasing decisions and can provide a competitive advantage in the marketplace for manufacturers. Foods and dietary supplements, by law, are prohibited from making drug claims. But two types of claims that foods and dietary supplements can make, if they meet certain prerequisites, are AHCs (authorized health claims) and QHCs (qualified health claims).
