New Food Regulation published today: 3 more health claims authorised
04/09/2013
These functional health claims relate to the effects of:
1. ‘toothkind' drinks, which contribute to maintain tooth mineralisation compared to soft drinks;
2. the consumption of slowly digestible starch (SDS) in starch-containing foods, which raises blood glucose concentration less after a meal compared to products low in SDS
3. cocoa flavanols, which help maintain the elasticity of blood vessels, which in turn contributes to normal blood flow.
