中文摘要:

      随着全球健康食品市场的迅速发展, 保健功能食品健康声称的管理成为各国食品监管体系的重要组成部分。健康声称的科学性、准确性和合规性, 不仅关系到消费者的信任, 更直接影响着功能性食品市场的可持续发展。作为亚洲功能性食品市场的先行者, 日本在健康声称管理方面建立了系统而完善的制度框架, 通过制定《特定保健用食品》《功能性标示食品》及《营养功能食品》等制度对保健功能食品健康声称实施分级管理。这种分级管理模式不仅涵盖了法律框架的明确规定, 还通过严格的科学依据审查, 保障了声称内容的真实性和可信性。本文以日本保健功能食品健康声称管理体系为研究对象, 系统归纳其在法律框架、分类管理和科学依据等方面的规定, 总结其监管经验及成效, 以期为完善我国保健功能食品健康声称管理体系提供参考。

英文摘要:

      With the rapid development of the global health food market, the management of health claims for functional foods has become an essential part of food regulatory systems in various countries. The scientific basis, accuracy, and compliance of health claims not only affect consumer trust but also have a direct impact on the sustainable development of the functional food market. As a pioneer in the Asian functional food market, Japan has established a systematic and comprehensive framework for managing health claims. Through the implementation of systems such as the Foods for specified health uses, Foods with functional claims, and Nutrient function claims, Japan enforces a tiered management approach for health claims of functional foods. This tiered system not only includes clear legal frameworks but also emphasizes rigorous scientific evaluation to ensure the authenticity and reliability of the claims. This paper took Japan’s health claim management system for functional foods as the research object, systematically summarized its regulations in terms of legal frameworks, classification management and scientific evidence, provided insights into the regulatory experience and effectiveness of Japan’s system. It aims to offer valuable references for improving the health claim management system for functional foods in China.
