Current scientific evidences on the relationship among food-health-disease have aroused worldwide interest in eating habits and healthy lifestyles. In this context, food with claims of functional and, or healthy properties, are conquering the market with releases of technological innovations. However, the industry faces challenges and difficulties to register this category of products. This work aimed to study the legislation and to build a simple model for the registration of dairy products claiming functional and or healthy properties. All steps to register an yogurt claiming functional and or healthy properties were explained through a practical example, employing fictitious company, product and labels. Were found 3 laws, 2 decrees, 4 administrative rules, 14 resolutions, 4 regulatory Instructions, 1 technical information, 1 guide and 1 circular letter, through a qualitative research documentary, that regulates the documents necessary to product register. From the legislation analysis, it was possible to show how the regulatory system is fragmented and the legislation sprayed due to the lack of specific information material and the need of qualified team of qualified professionals in the area of food, lawyers and marketing.
