1. Charakterystyka żywności / składnika

The food constituent that is the subject of the health claims is long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LCPUFAs), namely docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in combination with eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA).
The n-3 LCPUFAs, EPA and DHA, are well recognised nutrients and are measurable in foods by established methods. They are well absorbed when consumed in the form of triglycerides. This evaluation applies to EPA and DHA from all sources with appropriate bioavailability in the specified amounts.
The Panel considers that the food constituent, DHA and EPA, which is the subject of the health claims, is sufficiently characterised.

2.9. Utrzymanie struktury błon komórkowych (ID 4295)

The claimed effect is “membranes cell structure”. The Panel assumes that the target population is the general population.
The claimed effect is not sufficiently defined. The proposed wordings did not provide further clarification (“contributes to thin the blood”), and from the references provided it was not possible to establish the effect which was the target for the claim.
The Panel considers that the claimed effect is general and non-specific, and does not refer to any specific effect on health as required by Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006.
