If you actually know a little bit about this, you would understand. Under European laws, you can't make medical claims on food unless they are evidentially backed-up by medical science. Hence you could say this soup has 2 potions of your five-a-day, which is dietitians say is important to keep to a healthy diet, but you can't say that it cures cancer.
They could legitimately say this mustard, contains powdered reindeer horn which is considered a traditional aphoristic, as that isn't a medical claim like it will help you give a good erection as that is a medical claim.
