Health claims for food and food supplements were regulated by Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MinAF) until December 2018 through the Turkish Food Codex Regulation on Nutritional and Health Claims. On December 5, 2018, the Government of Turkiye (GOT) published the Law no. 7151 amending some laws and decrees related to various health issues. Article 31 of this amending law abolished rules and conditions related to health claims in the Turkish Food Codex Regulation on Nutritional and Health Claims and authorized the Medicine and Medical Devices Agency (MMDA) of the Ministry of Health (MoH) related to evaluation, approval, presentation, advertising, and labelling rules, and conditions related to health claims for food and food supplements.
