The claimed effects are ―increased inner protection/resistance‖, ―prebiotic/bifidogenic‖, and ―benefits the growth of intestinal bifidus bacteria and stimulates the immune system‖. The Panel assumes that the target population is the general population.
In the context of the proposed wordings or the clarifications provided by Member States, the Panel assumes that the claimed effects refer to an increase in the number of bacteria that are considered to be beneficial.
The numbers/proportions of bacterial groups that would constitute a ―good, balanced, healthy or beneficial intestinal flora‖ have not been established. Increasing the number of any group of microorganisms including lactobacilli or bifidobacteria, is not in itself considered to be a beneficial physiological effect.
The Panel considers that the evidence provided does not establish that increasing numbers of gastro-intestinal microorganisms is a beneficial physiological effect.
The Panel concludes that a cause and effect relationship has not been established between the consumption of the food(s)/food constituent(s) which are the subject of the health claims and a beneficial physiological effect related to increasing numbers of gastro-intestinal microorganisms.
