Article 2
1.The products covered by points (a) and (b) of Article 1(3) may be characterised as ‘dietetic’ or ‘dietary’.
2.In the labelling, presentation and advertising of foodstuffs for normal consumption the following shall be prohibited:
(a)the use of the adjectives ‘dietetic’ or ‘dietary’ either alone or in conjunction with other words, to designate those foodstuffs;
(b)all other markings or any presentation likely to give the impression that one of the products referred to in Article 1 is involved.
However, in accordance with provisions to be adopted by the Commission, it shall be possible for foodstuffs for normal consumption which are suitable for a particular nutritional use to indicate such suitability.
Such provisions may lay down the arrangements for indicating that suitability.
The measures referred to in the second subparagraph, designed to amend non-essential elements of this Directive by supplementing it, shall be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 15(3).
