The Confederation of Food and Drink Industries in Europe (CIAA) thinks the health claims summit called by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) on June 1 could not have come at a batter time as industry clamours for claims clarification.

The European food and drink industry welcomes this opportunity to meet and discuss with EFSA experts involved in the claims assessment process and we look forward to a constructive and interactive exchange of views,” said the director general of CIAA, Mella Frewen.

“ We very much hope that this meeting will be able to shed further light on the procedure used and the type of substantiation documents required by applicants when submitting a claim for assessment.”
