食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊  據(jù)外媒報(bào)道，近日歐盟議會(huì)下屬環(huán)境、公共健康和食品安全委員會(huì)投票否決了健康聲稱"碳水化合物有助于維持正常的大腦功能"。

    盡管EFSA已于2011年得出結(jié)論認(rèn)為，消費(fèi)碳水化合物和維持正常大腦功能之間以確定存在因果關(guān)系。然而一些成員國認(rèn)為，批準(zhǔn)該健康聲稱會(huì)導(dǎo)致糖消費(fèi)量增加。

    部分原文報(bào)道如下：

    The European Parliament has vetoed a health claim linking carbohydrate consumption to normal brain function after objections that it could promote sugar consumption.

    The claim, that "carbohydrates contribute to the maintenance of normal brain function", was rejected by just one vote by the parliament's Environment, Public Health and Food Safety Committee last week, despite  an EFSA panel's conclusion in 2011 that "a cause and effect relationship has been established between the consumption of glycaemic carbohydrates and maintenance of normal brain function".

    Some member states had suggested that the authorisation of such a claim could be "potentially confusing to the consumer, particularly in light of national dietary advice to reduce sugars consumption."
