Meal replacement for weight control |
Substituting one of the main daily meals of an energy restricted diet with a meal replacement contributes to the maintenance of weight after weight loss |
In order to bear the claim, a food should comply with the following requirements: 1. Energy content The energy content shall not be less than 200 kcal (840 kJ) and shall not exceed 250 kcal (1 046 KJ) per meal (*8). 2. Fat content and composition The energy derived from fat shall not exceed 30 % of total available energy content of the product. The linoleic acid (in the form of glycerides) shall not be less than 1 g. 3. Protein content and composition The protein contained in the food shall provide not less than 25 % and not more than 50 % of the total energy content of the product.

Amino acid requirement pattern (g/100 g protein)
The ‘chemical index’ shall mean the lowest of the ratios between the quantity of each essential amino acid of the test protein in and the quantity of each corresponding amino acid of the reference protein. If the chemical index is lower than 100 % of the reference protein, the minimum protein levels shall be correspondingly increased. In any case the chemical index of the protein shall at least be equal to 80 % of that of the reference protein. In all cases, the addition of amino acids is permitted solely for the purpose of improving the nutritional value of the proteins and only in the proportions necessary for that purpose. 4. Vitamins and minerals The food shall provide at least 30 % of the amounts of the nutrient reference values of vitamins and minerals per meal as laid down in Annex XIII to Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011. This requirement does not apply to fluoride, chromium, chloride and molybdenum. The amount of sodium per meal provided by the food shall be at least 172,5 mg. The amount of potassium per meal provided by the food shall be at least 500 mg (*9). |
In order to bear the claim, information shall be provided to the consumer on the importance of maintaining an adequate daily fluid intake and on the fact that the products are useful for the intended use only as part of an energy-restricted diet and that other foodstuffs should be a necessary part of such diet. In order to achieve the claimed effect, one main meal should be substituted with one meal replacement daily. |
