1. Charakterystyka żywności / składnika

The food constituent that is the subject of the health claims is iodine, which is a well recognised nutrient and is measurable in foods by established methods.
Iodine occurs naturally in foods and is authorised for addition to foods (Annex I of the Regulation (EC) No 1925/20066 and Annex I of Directive 2002/46/EC7). This evaluation applies to iodine naturally present in foods and those forms authorised for addition to foods (Annex II of the Regulation (EC) No 1925/2006 and Annex II of Directive 2002/46/EC).
The Panel considers that the food constituent, iodine, which is the subject of the health claims, is sufficiently characterised.

2.3. Wpływ na prawidłowe funkcjonowanie tarczycy i produkcję hormonów (ID 1237)

The claimed effect is “body functions”. The Panel assumes that the target population is the general population.
In the context of the clarifications provided by Member States, the Panel assumes that the claimed effect is related to normal thyroid function and production of thyroid hormones.
A claim on iodine and normal thyroid function and production of thyroid hormones has already been assessed with a favourable outcome (EFSA Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies (NDA), 2009).
