EFSA Stance Pleases Industry

April 1, 2008: 12:00 AM EST
The European Food Safety Authority has stated that whole diets rather than individual ingredients should be considered when determining the health claims foods can make under its controversial nutrient profiling proposal. The stance has been welcomed by the European Responsible Nutrition Alliance, the Confederation of the Food and Drink Industries in the European Union, and the UK-based Health Food Manufacturers Association. Food groups that may be exempted include vegetable oils; cereals and cereal products; spreadable fats; dairy products; fruits and vegetables and fruit/vegetable products; meat and meat products; fish and fish products; and nonalcoholic beverages. The nutrient profiling proposal creates anomalies as it could prevent health claims from being made for products generally regarded as healthy, such as yogurt.
