1.3. Herbal yeast plasmolysate (ID 1815, 1816)
The food constituent that is the subject of the health claims is “herbal yeast plasmolysate (Saccharomyces cerevisiae)” related to the following claimed effects: physical performance and concentration.
In the context of the references provided, the Panel assumes that the claim refers to a specific commercial preparation of herbal yeast plasmolysate where Saccharomyces cerevisiae Meyen (not further specified) is cultivated in a medium containing specific but unidentified plant extracts, and is washed and subjected to plasmolysis by fermentation. Saccharomyces cerevisiae Meyen refers to a group of yeast strains that were re-classified by taxonomists (Molina et al., 1992).
The Panel notes that neither the identity of the yeast strain nor the composition of the plant extract in which the yeast is cultivated have been provided. The Panel also notes that no studies on the consumption of herbal yeast plasmolysate in relation to the claimed effects were available, and therefore the food constituents in herbal yeast plasmolysate which could be relevant for the claimed effects are unclear.
The Panel considers that the food, herbal yeast plasmolysate, which is the subject of the claim, 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 herbal yeast plasmolysate and the claimed effects considered in this section.
