<br>
Under the current European regulation of health claims permitted to use
for the promotion of food, probiotics are subjects to considerable impediments
when facing the requirements of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).<br>
<br>
Until the end of 2009 no probiotic health claims under the new EU regulation
has yet received a positive opinion from the scientific assessors of EFSA.
All probiotic claims referring to reduction of disease risk and to children’s
development and health (Article 14) and health claims other than those
referring to the reduction of disease risk and to children's development
and health (Article 13) has been rejected by EFSA.<br>
<br>
It is the purpose of the workshop to explore the reasons for claim rejections
by analysing the current situation, the reasons for failures of health
claim substantiation and to present possible pathways to overcome obvious
and overseen barriers.</font>
