EU May Exempt Some Functional Foods From Profiling

February 27, 2008: 12:00 AM EST
The European Food Safety Authority says some functional food groups may be exempt from nutrient profiling regulations being discussed within the European Union and due to be written into law by January 2009. These groups include vegetable oils; spreadable fats; dairy products; cereals and cereal products; fruits and vegetables and fruit/vegetable products; meat and meat products; fish and fish products; and non-alcoholic beverages. Their health benefits are seen as outweighing one of their “unhealthy” ingredients. Profiling targets fat, salt, sugar and certain other nutrients. The European Responsible Nutrition Alliance said food supplements should also be exempt, because they contain very small amounts of undesirable ingredients.
