1. Charakterystyka żywności / składnika
The food constituent that is the subject of the health claims is phosphorus, which is a well recognised nutrient and is measurable in foods by established methods.
Phosphorus occurs naturally in foods and it is authorised for addition to foods and for use in food supplements (Annex I of the Regulation (EC) No 1925/20064 and Annex I of Directive 2002/46/EC5). This evaluation applies to phosphorus 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, phosphorus, which is the subject of the health claims is sufficiently characterised.
2.2. Metabolizm energetyczny (ID 329, 373)
The claimed effects are “energy production” and “energy metabolism”. The Panel assumes that the target population is the general population.
The Panel considers that normal energy-yielding metabolism is beneficial to human health.
3. Naukowe uzasadnienia wpływu na zdrowie człowieka
Phosphates are involved in many metabolic and structural functions as well as the regulation of the acid-base balance. Phoshorus is part of many organic compounds such as nucleic acids, inositol triphosphate, creatine-phosphate, ATP, AMP or phospholipids. Phosphorus is an essential nutrient in energy metabolism as it intervenes in the production, storage and transfer of energy. Phosphorylation- dephosphorylation reactions are crucial to many aspects of metabolic control (Anderson et al., 2006).
3.2. Metabolizm energetyczny (ID 329, 373)
Energy production and storage in the body depend on adequate sources of phosphorus including adenosine triphosphate, creatine phosphate, and other phosphorylated compounds (Knochel, 2006).
The Panel concludes that a cause and effect relationship has been established between the dietary intake of phosphorus and normal energy-yielding metabolism. However, the evidence provided does not establish that inadequate intake of phosphorus leading to impaired energy metabolism occurs in the general EU population.
4.2. Metabolizm energetyczny (ID 329, 373)
The Panel considers that the following wording reflects the scientific evidence: “Phosphorus contributes to energy metabolism”.
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 phosphorus 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. Tolerable Upper Intake Levels (UL) have not been established for phosphorus in children, adolescents and adults.
