Barry Callebaut, Zurich/Switzerland, Wieze/Belgium, manufacturer of cocoa and chocolate products, has announced that the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has issued a positive opinion on the company’s health claim dossier submitted last year. Barry Callebaut received a health claim that “cocoa flavanols help maintain endothelium-dependent vasodilation which contributes to normal blood flow.”  The company was able to provide evidence that the intake of 200 mg of cocoa flavanols (provided by 2.5g of high-flavanol cocoa powder or 10g of high-flavanol dark chocolate) positively influence blood circulation in the human body. Barry Callebaut is the first company in the EU to obtain a positive Scientific Opinion on a health claim on cocoa flavanols.
