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.
