Claims
What is a Claim?(1979):
“ a claim is any representation which
states, suggests or implies that
a food has particular characteristics
National Institutefor Public Healthand the Environment
a food has particular characteristics
relating to its origin, nutritional properties,
nature, production, processing, composition
or any other quality ”

science/proprietary data)– Art.13.1: Evaluation of list of function claims based on generally
accepted scientific evidence
- All pertinent scientific data inin favourfavour + not in favour
(totality of the scientific data ; weighing the evidence.)
- characteristics of the food required.
- Human data required.
- Study group(s) representative for the target population.
- Claimed effect must be relevant for human health.
- Causal relationship food consumption - health outcome in humans.
- effect can reasonably be achieved as part of a balanced diet.

Example: Plant Sterols
� Constituent well defined - sufficiently characterised
� Target: People who want to lower blood cholesterol
� Claimed effect: lower/reduce blood cholesterol and reduce the risk of (coronary) heart disease.�Studies with the constituent in several food matrices (fat-based foods and low-
fat foods such as milk and yoghurt), in the target population, concerning the LDL-cholesterolloweringeffect: consistent results, dose-response. LDL-cholesterolloweringeffect: consistent results, dose-response.
�Cause-effect relationship established
�No studies demonstrating that plant sterols reduce the risk of coronary heartdisease.
� EFSA: «Plant sterols have been shown to lower/reduce bloodcholesterol. Blood cholesterol may reduce the risk of coronarydisease ». Should be consumed only by people who want to lower theirblood cholesterol. Patients on cholesterol lowering medication shouldonly consume the product under medical supervision.
Example: Regulat.pro.kid BRAIN
� Fermented vegetables/fruits with probiotics, lecithinand Rhodiola rosea exact
� Claimed effect: Contribute to mental and cognitive development
� Target: children3-6 years� Target: children3-6 years
� Bacteria strains not characterised
� The claimed effect not defined by the applicant
� No study with the final product, in the target population, concerning the claimed effect
