The scope of the application was proposed to fall under a health claim referring to children's development and health. The food proposed by the applicant as the subject of the health claim is ‘organic foods’. The applicant claimed that organic foods are characterised by their lower level of pesticides residues compared with foods not labelled as organic. The Panel notes, however, that in the application and the human studies submitted the nutritional composition and the pesticide concentration in ‘organic food’ are not reported. The Panel considers that organic foods which are the subject of the health claim, and the foods that they are intended to replace are not sufficiently characterised. Therefore, the Panel concludes that a cause and effect relationship cannot be established between the consumption of organic foods and contribution to the protection of body cells and molecules (lipids and DNA) from oxidative damage.EFSA Panel on Nutrition, Novel Foods and Food Allergens (NDA)Dominique TurckTorsten BohnJacqueline CastenmillerStefaan De HenauwKaren Ildico Hirsch‐ErnstHelle Katrine KnutsenAlexandre MaciukInge MangelsdorfHarry J McArdleAndroniki NaskaCarmen PelaezKristina PentievaFrank ThiesSophia TsabouriMarco VincetiJean‐Louis BressonAlfonso SianiWileyarticleorganic foodsoxidative damagepesticideshealth claimNutrition.
