The claimed effect is “heart health”. The Panel assumes that the target population is the general population.
In the context of the proposed wordings, the Panel assumes that the claimed effect refers to the maintenance of normal blood pressure.
Blood pressure is the pressure (force per unit area) exerted by circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels. Elevated blood pressure, by convention above 140 mmHg (systolic) and/or 90 mmHg (diastolic), may compromise the normal arterial and cardiac function.
The Panel considers that maintenance of normal blood pressure is a beneficial physiological effect.

One reference on the antioxidant properties of different plant extracts and two reviews which did not address the effects of the food, which is the subject of the claim, on blood pressure were cited in relation to this claim. The Panel considers that no conclusions can be drawn from these references for the scientific substantiation of the claim.
No human studies, which investigated the effects of the food on blood pressure were provided in relation to the claim evaluated in this section.
The Panel concludes that a cause and effect relationship has not been established between the consumption of the food which is the subject of the claim evaluated in this section and maintenance of normal blood pressure.
