EFSA Approves Erythritol Health Claims

The EFSA has been reviewing the health claims made on the packaging of consumer products. After disallowing many, most notably the claim that prebiotic products are beneficial to digestive health through increasing the numbers of gastrointestinal “healthy” bacteria (The EFSA Opinion can be found here), the health effects for erythritol have been approved. Erythritol is a bulk sweetener, or polyol, which can be used as a direct sugar substitute. The EFSA has approved two health claims for the product.
