NUTRITION AND HEALTH MESSAGES ABOUT MUSHROOMS
This fact sheet has been created to outline the range of health benefits that can be
attributed to the nutrients found in mushrooms. The statements in this document are a
more consumer-friendly version of permitted nutrition and health claims that comply with
the Australian New Zealand Food Standards Code.
Additionally, consumer research was recently undertaken (which is also available in the
grower portal), which tells us that health claims about mushrooms and immunity, as well as
calcium absorption are the most likely to resonate and prompt purchase, and therefore are
good claims to consider in any of your communications.
