Abstract:
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 plant sterols and plant stanols and maintenance of normal blood cholesterol concentrations, and maintenance of normal prostate size and normal urination. 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 subjects of the health claims is plant sterols and plant stanols. The Panel considers that plant sterols and plant stanols are sufficiently characterised
