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 eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and enhancement of mood, calming, increased attention, increase in appetite after unintentional weight loss leading to an increase in energy intake, and protection of blood lipids from oxidative damage. 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 claims is eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). The Panel considers that EPA is sufficiently characterised.

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 eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and enhancement of mood, calming, increased attention, increase in appetite after unintentional weight loss leading to an increase in energy intake, and protection of blood lipids from oxidative damage. 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 claims is eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). The Panel considers that EPA is sufficiently characterised.
