1.1. Dairy products (ID 1140, 1141, 1191)
The food that is the subject of the claim is: “dairy (low fat dairy), dairy refers to cow’s milk, yogurt and cheese)”, “(cow’s) milk and dairy products for which milk is the principle ingredient and no sugar has been added – e.g. yogurt, cheese”, and “fat free dairy products with reduced sugars or without added sugars” related to the following claimed effects: weight management and maintenance of tooth mineralisation.
From the information provided, the Panel assumes that the food refers to dairy products (milk, yogurt and cheese) from cow’s milk which are low in fat or fat free with no added sugars. The Panel notes
that dairy products include solid, semi-solid and liquid food products with different energy density, and that no information has been provided with respect to other nutritional characteristics (e.g. protein content, and added fibre) which could have an effect on body weight. The Panel also notes that lactose, the content of which may vary widely from one dairy product to another, is fermented by oral bacteria, and that the effect of different dairy products on tooth mineralisation may vary depending on whether they are chewed (e.g. cheese) or not, and on the frequency of consumption.
The Panel considers that the food category, dairy products, which is the subject of the health claims, is not sufficiently characterised in relation to the claimed effects considered in this section.
The Panel concludes that a cause and effect relationship cannot be established between the consumption of dairy products and the claimed effects considered in this section.
