Abstract
- The article reports that the health claims being rejected by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) over functional foods that claim to increase the immune system has stopped some companies in its tracks. The European Union (EU) regulation 1924/2006 ensures that health claims on food products are backed by science-evidence. Lucia De Luca, EFSA spokesperson, points out that the regulatory body simply works within the EU regulation, that requires scientific evidence to support health claims.
