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 galacto-oligosaccharides and reduction of gastro-intestinal discomfort and decreasing potentially pathogenic microorganisms. 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 galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS). The Panel considers that galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) are sufficiently characterised in relation to the claimed effects.

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 galacto-oligosaccharides and reduction of gastro-intestinal discomfort and decreasing potentially pathogenic microorganisms. 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 galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS). The Panel considers that galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) are sufficiently characterised in relation to the claimed effects.
