Catherine Geslain-Lanéelle, executive director of the agency, said: “EFSA’s work on general function health claims has highlighted the importance of constructive dialogue between risk assessors, scientists, decision-makers and stakeholders and has contributed to our thinking on the future shape of our organisation.”
EFSA has now finished assessing Article 13.1 general function claims, but the agency’s scientists will continue to assess claims backed by new evidence under the Article 13.5 and Article 14 procedures, providing ample opportunity for applicants to put the help desk to the test.
