Context you provide
- {{nutrient}} - nutrient for the claim
- {{claim_type}} - good source, excellent source, low, or free

- {{nutrient_amount_per_serving}} - nutrient amount per serving with unit
- {{reference_amount}} - reference amount for the claim (e.g., Daily Value)
- {{regulatory_jurisdiction}} - market or regulation
- {{product_form}} - solid, liquid, etc.
- {{basis}} - per serving, per 100 g, per 100 kcal, etc.
- {{any_additional_details}} - other relevant details
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then continue.
- Identify the specific claim criteria for the given nutrient, claim type, product category, product form, and jurisdiction.

Guardrails
- Do not invent threshold values, regulations, or reference amounts. Use only user-provided figures; if a threshold is missing, state that the user must supply it from the current official regulation.
- Always remind the user that final claim substantiation and label compliance must be confirmed against current regulations and with a qualified regulatory specialist.
- Do not provide legal advice or guarantee regulatory acceptance.
