1. Charakterystyka żywności / składnika

The food constituent that is the subject of the health claims is calcium, which is a well recognised nutrient and is measurable in foods by established methods. Calcium occurs naturally in foods in many forms which are generally well utilised by the body. Different forms of calcium are authorised for addition to foods and for use in food supplements (Annex II of the Regulation (EC) No 1925/20066 and Annex II of Directive 2002/46/EC7). This evaluation applies to calcium naturally present in foods and those forms authorised for addition to foods and for use in food supplements (Annex II of the Regulation (EC) No 1925/2006 and Annex II of Directive 2002/46/EC).
The Panel considers that the food constituent, calcium, which is the subject of the health claims, is sufficiently characterised.

In the context of the proposed wordings and clarifications provided by Member States, the Panel assumes that the claimed effect refers to “cell membrane permeability”.
The Panel considers that the claimed effect “cell membrane permeability” is not sufficiently defined for a scientific evaluation.
The Panel considers that the claimed effect is general and non-specific and does not refer to any specific health claim as required by Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006.
