1. Charakterystyka żywności / składnika
The food constituent that is the subject of the health claims is thiamin (vitamin B1), which is a well recognised nutrient and is measurable in foods by established methods.
Thiamin 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 thiamin 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, thiamin, which is the subject of the health claims, is sufficiently characterised.
2.2. Udział w prawidłowym przebiegu funkcji psychicznych (psychologicznych) (ID 205)
The claimed effect is “the role of vitamins and minerals in mental performance (where mental performance stands for those aspects of brain and nerve functions which determine aspects like
concentration, learning, memory and reasoning)”. The Panel assumes that the target population is the general population.
The Panel considers that contribution to normal psychological functions, which encompass cognitive and affective domains, is a beneficial physiological effect.
3.2. Udział w prawidłowym przebiegu funkcji psychicznych (psychologicznych) (ID 205)
Clinical signs of thiamin deficiency include mental changes such as apathy, decrease in short-term memory, confusion and irritability (IoM, 1998).
The Panel concludes that a cause and effect relationship has been established between the dietary intake of thiamin and contribution to normal psychological functions.
4.1. Udział w prawidłowym przebiegu funkcji psychicznych (psychologicznych) (ID 205)
The Panel considers that the following wording reflects the scientific evidence: “Thiamin contributes to normal psychological functions”.
5. Warunki i możliwe ograniczenia stosowania oświadczenia
The Panel considers that in order to bear the claims a food should be at least a source of thiamin as per Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. Such amounts can be easily consumed as part of a balanced diet. Tolerable Upper Intake Levels (UL) have not been established for thiamin in children, adolescents and adults. The target population is the general population.
