1. Charakterystyka żywności / składnika

The food constituents that are the subject of the health claims are vitamins and minerals, and for IDs 7, 717 and 3094 also omega-3 fatty acids, all of which are well recognised nutrients. These nutrients are measurable in foods by established methods.
Vitamins and minerals are authorised for addition to foods and for use in food supplements (Annex I of Regulation (EC) No 1925/20066 and Annex I of Directive 2002/46/EC7). This evaluation applies to vitamins and minerals naturally present in foods and those forms authorised for addition to foods and for use in food supplements (Annex II of Regulation (EC) No 1925/2006 and Annex II of Directive 2002/46/EC).
The main dietary omega-3 fatty acids are alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, mainly eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) (EFSA, 2005).
The Panel considers that the food constituents, vitamins, minerals and omega-3 fatty acids, which are the subject of the health claims, are sufficiently characterised in relation to the claimed effects.

2.2. Rozwój (ID 217)

For IDs 4 and 217 the claimed effects are “multivitamin supplementation to sustain vitality while aging”, and “development”. The claimed effects are not sufficiently defined, and no further details were given in the wordings or the clarifications provided by Member States which could be used to define the claimed effect. The Panel considers that the claims are general and non-specific, and do not refer to any specific health claim as required by Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006.
