摘要
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 1924/2006. This opinion addresses the scientific substantiation of health claims in relation to linoleic acid and the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol concentrations. 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 claim is linoleic acid. The Panel considers that linoleic acid is sufficiently characterised. The claimed effect is "blood cholesterol". The Panel considers that the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol concentrations is beneficial to human health. On the basis of the data available, the Panel concludes that a cause and effect relationship has been established between the dietary intake of linoleic acid and the reduction of blood cholesterol concentrations. In order to bear the claim a food should contain at least 15% of the proposed labelling reference intake values of 10 g linoleic acid per day. Such an amount can be easily consumed as part of a balance diet. The target population is the general population.
