English term or phrase: \"Nutrition claims\" vs \"Nutrition-related claims\"
Hi everyone! I'm struggling to get (if there is one) the difference between "Nutrition claims" and "Nutrition-related claims". Is there one? Because on institutional documents, scientific articles and books these seem to be used alternatively, as if these were synonyms.

Could you please help me?
Thank you very much!!!

”Content: 5 mg carotene per 100 g” would be a nutrition claim, while ”carotene is beneficial for the development of mucous membranes” would be a nutrition-related claim.
