Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Statements on a label of a food or dietary supplement about the substance's effect on a structure or function of the body are called structure-function claims. These claims describe the role of a nutrient or ingredient on the normal structure or function of the body but do not make explicit reference to a specific disease or condition. Qualified health claims are another type of label claim that describes a relationship between a substance and a disease or health condition, but these claims are supported by less scientific evidence than authorized health claims. Unsupported claims are statements that lack scientific evidence to support their validity.
