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 fermented whey and “gut health”. 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 claim is fermented whey. The Panel considers that fermented whey is not sufficiently characterised. No information is provided for the raw materials, constituents or the microorganisms used for the fermentation process. The preparation process is not standardised and the chemical composition is not provided. On the basis of the data presented, the Panel concludes that a cause and effect relationship has not been established between the consumption of fermented whey and “gut health”.

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 fermented whey and “gut health”. 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 claim is fermented whey. The Panel considers that fermented whey is not sufficiently characterised. No information is provided for the raw materials, constituents or the microorganisms used for the fermentation process. The preparation process is not standardised and the chemical composition is not provided. On the basis of the data presented, the Panel concludes that a cause and effect relationship has not been established between the consumption of fermented whey and “gut health”.
