1. Charakterystyka żywności / składnika

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

2.2. Udział w prawidłowym pozyskiwaniu energii w procesach metabolicznych (ID 402)

The claimed effect is “energy metabolism”. The Panel assumes that the target population is the general population.
A claim on iodine and normal energy-yielding metabolism 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 claims a food should be at least a source of iodine as per Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. Tolerable Upper Intake Levels (ULs) have been established for iodine in children, adolescents, adults, pregnant and lactating women (SCF, 2002). The target population is the general population.
