Answer 1

1. Health Claim

2. Unapproved nutrient claim

Step-by-step explanation:

A health claim refers to a statement about the food or food product related to the health issues when that food is taken as a part of the diet. The health claim statement must meet the criterion of the Nutrition facts issued by the Government. The health claim statements help reduce the disease of the Heart, Osteoporosis and cancer.

In case I since the statement discusses the soy protein dies and its impact on reducing the heart disease therefore the statement is a health claim statement.

A nutrient content claim is a statement which is related to the amount of the nutrient in the food which should meet the nutrient fact table. The nutrient claim statement tells about the quantity of the consumption of the food product.

In case II since the statement is not correlated with the nutrient fact table as well as the quantity of the food is not mentioned to cure the heart diseases, therefore, is an unapproved nutrient claim.
