As French company Roquette reports two new health claims for its Nutriose have just been published in the Official Journal of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/854. These confirm that Nutriose soluble fibre contributes to the maintenance of tooth mineralization by reducing tooth demineralization; and also by inducing lower postprandial glycemic responses. The two authorized claims pertain to non-fermentable carbohydrates (oral health) on the one hand and non-digestible carbohydrates (reduction of glycemic response) on the other. Both are achieved by Nutriose® soluble fibre. They have been authorized in connection with Article 13(1) pertaining to generic claims applicable to all. The health benefits are backed by the results of 8 clinical studies conducted in four parts of the world. The quality and scientific rigour of the Roquette Group have been acknowledged by experts on the Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies panel of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). The ingredient incorporates nutritional assets essential for food manufacturers. A non-viscous soluble fibre with a neutral taste, Nutriose is obtained from cereals (wheat and corn) and is classified as a food ingredient. It can be easily used to improve the nutritional profile of a wide range of foodstuffs. In addition, it offers an outstanding digestive tolerance. In accordance with Article 10(3) of the European Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, the health benefits of Nutriose soluble fibre can be indicated on end product packaging provided that it respects the usage conditions and includes the authorized health benefit claim. For example, in the case of a biscuit with reduced sugars obtained with Nutriose, the package may indicate: “Reduced blood glucose impact” provided that 30% of the sugars usually used in these biscuits are substituted with Nutriose. At the same time it must quote the official claim “Consumption of foods/drinks containing Nutriose instead of sugars induces a lower blood glucose rise after their consumption compared to sugar-containing foods/drinks."
