In view of the dazzling array of foods that claim to have health care effects, do consumers buy healthy foods that really have health care effects? The Consumer Protection Department of the Executive Yuan (hereinafter referred to as the Consumer Protection Department of the Executive Yuan) held a special meeting to clarify the management mechanism between healthy food and general food, and confirmed that all other foods, including the health food claimed in the market, are general foods, and consumers must distinguish clearly.

According to the Consumer Protection Department of the Executive Yuan, the inspection of "healthy food" is examined and approved by the Department of Health of the Executive Yuan, and a "healthy food" license is issued, and the approved health care efficacy statement, the brand name of health food of the Department of Health and the green oval "little green men" logo can be marked on the product packaging; In addition, there are 13 statutory health functions of health foods announced by the Department of Health (such as regulating gastrointestinal function, assisting in regulating allergic constitution, etc. ), and general food can not be arbitrarily cited as the function of the product.

Therefore, if the food sold in the market claims to have "promoting metabolism", "relaxing bowels", "indispensable nutrients for maintaining human physiological functions", "helping to maintain the function of digestive tract", "conditioning according to physique" and "containing" can promote appetite and help digestion ",but the health food license is not obtained, or the words" little green men "are marked, the second/kl of the Health Food Administration Law shall apply. If there are exaggerated false advertisements, they shall be punished according to Article 19 of the Food Hygiene Management Law.

The Consumer Protection Department of the Executive Yuan once again reminds consumers how to spend money to buy healthy food with health care functions they want, rather than ordinary food that looks healthy. The only way is to recognize the green oval "little green men" label of health food, and its package will be marked with the approved health care efficacy description and the brand name of health food of the Department of Health. In addition, consumers should consult doctors, nutritionists, pharmacists, etc. Make sure whether it is suitable for personal needs before buying. If there is no special nutritional supplement demand, consumers are advised to eat more natural foods such as grains, fruits and vegetables, rather than seemingly healthy processed foods, because natural foods are the main source of human nutrition.
