No. The European Commission updated health‑claim rules and specifically disallowed the cholesterol‑related health claim for Monacolin K from red yeast rice. Foods or supplements that contain Monacolin K may not be marketed using the claim “Monacolin K from red yeast rice contributes to the maintenance of normal blood LDL‑cholesterol concentrations.” Member States and food business operators must comply with the new regulation and remove such claims from labelling, advertising, and promotional material. Products already on the market should be reviewed for compliance; authorities may issue non‑compliance actions or require relabelling. Industry stakeholders should consult the official EU legal text and national competent authorities for transition details and enforcement timelines.
