EFSA Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies (NDA); Scientific Opinion on the substantiation of health claims related to fats and “function of the cell membrane” (ID 622, 2900, 2911) and normal absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (ID 670, 2902) pursuant to Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006

摘要

Following a request from the European Commission, the Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies was asked to provide a scientific opinion on a list of health claims pursuant to Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. This opinion addresses the scientific substantiation of health claims in relation to fats and “function of the cell membrane” and normal absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. The scientific substantiation is based on the information provided by the Member States in the consolidated list of Article 13 health claims and references that EFSA has received from Member States or directly from stakeholders. The food constituent that is the subject of the health claims is fats. The Panel considers that fats are sufficiently characterised in relation to the claimed effects.
