2. Znaczenie oświadczenia dla zdrowia człowieka


1.1. Zwiększenie biodostępności składników pokarmowych (ID 384, 1728, 1752, 1755)

The claimed effects are “bioavailability of minerals with enriched yeasts” and “improvement in contribution to iron intake due to better availability”. The Panel assumes that the target population is the general population.
In the context of the proposed wording and the clarifications provided by Member States, the Panel assumes that the claimed effects refer to the improved bioavailability of a nutrient (“haem iron”, “copper”, “selenium”, “copper and zinc”).

Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 defines health claims made on foods as “any claim that states, suggests or implies that a relationship exists between a food category, a food or one of its constituents and health” (Article 2.5), whereas that “the nutrient or other substance for which the claim is made is in a form that is available to be used by the body” (Article 5.1(c)) is a general condition for all claims.
The Panel considers that the claimed effects refer to the improved bioavailability of a nutrient rather than to a relationship between a food/food constituent and health as required by Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006.

1.2. Dostarczanie energii i składników pokarmowych (ID 403, 413, 457, 487, 667, 1675, 1710, 2901, 4496)

The claimed effects are “source of energy for the human body”, “supply of metabolic energy”, “prevention of iodine deficiency disorders”, “nutritional support (for children and adults) in case of unbalanced nutrition”, “prevention of folic acid deficiency in vulnerable individuals”, “essential fatty acids (EFA) supply” and “vitamins and minerals supplementation”. The Panel assumes that the target population is the general population.
In the context of the proposed wordings, the Panel assumes that the claimed effect refers to beneficial nutritional properties of a food/food constituent (“improves the supplementation with iodine”, “provide energy”, “nutritional support”, “essential fatty acids supply”).
Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 defines health claims made on foods as “any claim that states, suggests or implies that a relationship exists between a food category, a food or one of its constituents and health” (Article 2.5), whereas “„nutrition claim‟ means any claim which states, suggests or implies that a food has particular beneficial nutritional properties due to: (a) the energy (calorific value) it (i) provides; (ii) provides at a reduced or increased rate; or (iii) does not provide; and/or (b) the nutrients or other substances it (i) contains; (ii) contains in reduced or increased proportions; or (iii) does not contain;” (Article 2.5).
The Panel considers that the claimed effects refer to beneficial nutritional properties of a food/food constituent rather than to a relationship between a food/food constituent and health as required by Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006.

1.3. Obecność składników odżywczych w organizmie człowieka (ID 720)

The claimed effect is “abundance in the body”. The Panel assumes that the target population is the general population.
The Panel notes that the claimed effect refers to the presence of a nutrient in the human body.
Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 defines health claims made on foods as “any claim that states, suggests or implies that a relationship exists between a food category, a food or one of its constituents and health” (Article 2.5).
The Panel considers that the claim refers to the presence of a nutrient in the human body rather than to a relationship between a food/food constituent and health as required by Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006.

Improved bioavailability of nutrients (ID 384, 1728, 1752, 1755)
The claimed effects are “bioavailability of minerals with enriched yeasts” and “improvement in contribution to iron intake due to better availability”. The target population is assumed to be the general population.
The claimed effects refer to the improved bioavailability of a nutrient rather than to a relationship between a food/food constituent and health as required by Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006.
Energy and nutrient supply (ID 403, 413, 457, 487, 667, 1675, 1710, 2901, 4496)
The claimed effects are “source of energy for the human body”, “supply of metabolic energy”, “prevention of iodine deficiency disorders”, “nutritional support (for children and adults) in case of unbalanced nutrition”, “prevention of folic acid deficiency in vulnerable individuals”, “essential fatty acids (EFA) supply”, and “vitamins and minerals supplementation”. The target population is the general population.
The claimed effects refer to beneficial nutritional properties of a food/food constituent rather than to a relationship between a food/food constituent and health as required by Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006.
Presence of a nutrient in the human body (ID 720)
The claimed effect is “abundance in the body”. The target population is assumed to be the general population.
The claim refers to the presence of a nutrient in the human body rather than to a relationship between a food/food constituent and health as required by Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006.
