摘要
Following an application from Naturex SA, submitted pursuant to Article 13(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/ 2006 via the Competent Authority of France, the Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies (NDA) was asked to deliver an opinion on the scientific substantiation of a health claim related to Pacran (R) and defence against bacterial pathogens in the lower urinary tract. The food that is the subject of the claim is Pacran (R). The Panel considers that the food, Pacran (R), which is the subject of the claim is sufficiently characterised in relation to the claimed effect. The Panel considers that defence against bacterial pathogens in the lower urinary tract is a beneficial physiological effect. One human study from which conclusions could be drawn for the scientific substantiation of the claim showed no effect of Pacran (R) on defence against bacterial pathogens in the lower urinary tract. The Panel concludes that a cause and effect relationship has not been established between the consumption of Pacran (R) and defence against bacterial pathogens in the lower urinary tract.
