1.7. Lactase (ID 1974)
The food constituent that is the subject of the health claim is lactase (beta-D-galactohydrolase).
The Panel considers that the food constituent, lactase, which is the subject of the health claim, is sufficiently characterised (EFSA Panel on Dietetic Products Nutrition and Allergies (NDA), 2009d).
2.8. Lactase and breaking down lactose (ID 1974)
The claimed effect is “lactose digestion”. The target population is individuals whose own lactase production is insufficient for breaking down lactose.
In the context of the clarifications provided by Member States, the Panel assumes that the claimed effect refers to breaking down lactose (i.e. enzymatic hydrolysis of lactose).
A claim on lactase and breaking down lactose has already been assessed with a favourable outcome (EFSA Panel on Dietetic Products Nutrition and Allergies (NDA), 2009d).
Warunki i możliwe ograniczenia stosowania oświadczenia
