1. Charakterystyka żywności / składnika

The food constituent that is the subject of the health claims is taurine (2-amino-ethanesulfonic acid). Taurine is a well recognised nutrient and is measurable in foods by established methods.
Taurine occurs naturally in foods of animal origin and is generally absent from foods of plant origin.
The Panel considers that the food constituent, taurine, which is the subject of the health claims, is sufficiently characterised.

2.1. Ochrona układu immunologicznego (ID 611)

The claimed effect is “for immune system protection”. The Panel assumes that the target population is the general population.
The claimed effect is not sufficiently defined and no further details were given in the proposed wording or the clarifications provided by Member States. Given the multiple roles of the immune system, the specific aspect of immune function that is the subject of the health claim needs to be specified, but it has not been indicated in the information provided.
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.
