1. Charakterystyka żywności / składnika

The food constituent that is the subject of the health claims is magnesium, which is a well recognised nutrient and is measurable in foods by established methods.
Magnesium occurs naturally in foods and is authorised for addition to foods (Annex I of Regulation (EC) No 1925/20066 and Annex I of Directive 2002/46/EC7). This evaluation applies to magnesium naturally present in foods and to 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, magnesium, which is the subject of the health claims, is sufficiently characterised.

2.12. Utrzymanie prawidłowego stanu mięśni (ID 380, 3083)

The claimed effects are “fonctionnement musculaire” and “metabolism/muscle function”. The Panel assumes that the target population is the general population.
In the context of the proposed wordings, the Panel assumes that the claimed effects refer to the maintenance of normal muscle contraction.
A claim on magnesium and muscle contraction has already been assessed with a favourable outcome (EFSA Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies (NDA), 2009).

5. Warunki i możliwe ograniczenia stosowania oświadczenia

The Panel considers that in order to bear the claim a food should be at least a source of magnesium as per Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. Such amounts can be easily consumed as part of a balanced diet. The target population is the general population. No Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) has been established for magnesium normally present in food and beverages. An UL for older children and adults has been established for readily dissociable magnesium salts and compounds like magnesium oxide in nutritional supplements, waters or added to food and beverages (SCF, 2001).
