Scientists on the European Food Safety Authority’s NDA Panel have reached a major milestone in the summer of 2011 in their work on health claims by publishing evaluations of the last group of ‘general function’ claims. The publication of the final series of 35 evaluations is the culmination of more than three years’ work by EFSA’s experts. Since 2008 the Panel has assessed 2,758 food-related general function health claims to determine whether they were supported by sound scientific evidence, thereby assisting the European Commission and Member States in the establishment of a list of claims authorised for food. These approved claims will enable European consumers to make informed choices about their diet. |
