Sweden’s voluntary health claims code

“Sweden’s voluntary health claims code has approved a claim for a cholesterol-lowering cheese made by dairy firm Skanemejerier. Called Hjärtans Lust (Heart’s Desire), the product has been sold under the product name Julia in Finland since 1999 but is set for launch on the Swedish market…The product is the first cheese to gain an approved health claim in Sweden…The new claim for Skane’s cheese, which contains pressed rapeseed oil instead of milk fat, notes that it ‘contributes to lower cholesterol values.’”
