Following public consultation, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has today published its final guidance to applicants on the submission of health claims for authorisation. During the consultation of the draft document useful comments were received from stakeholders and Member States and all of them were considered by the NDA Panel . The guidance will help companies who want to submit health claims for authorisation. It addresses what they need to include in their application, in particular concerning the scientific data and evidence required to support claims.
