1. Charakterystyka żywności / składnika

The food constituent that is the subject of the health claims is manganese, which is a well recognised nutrient and is measurable in foods by established methods.
Manganese 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 manganese naturally present in foods and those forms authorised for addition to foods (Annex II of Regulation (EC) No 1925/2006 and Annex II of Directive 2002/46/EC).
The Panel considers that the food constituent, manganese, which is the subject of the health claims, is sufficiently characterised.

2.3. Udział w prawidłowym pozyskiwaniu energii w procesach metabolicznych (ID 405)

The claimed effect is “key function within metabolism (e.g. activation of enzymes)”. The Panel assumes that the target population is the general population.
In the context of the proposed wording, the Panel assumes that the claimed effect refers to energy- yielding metabolism.
A claim on manganese and 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 claim a food should be at least a source of manganese 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. Although adverse health effects of excess intake of manganese have been reported, Tolerable Upper Intake Levels (UL) have not been established owing to lack of data on dose response (SCF, 2000).
