A Unilever spokesperson told NutraIngredients that the company is delighted with the opinion. "EFSA has concluded that there is solid scientific evidence on the cause-and-effect relationship between meal replacements for weight control and reduction in body weight, and maintenance of body weight after weight loss,” said the spokesperson.
“This confirms the conclusions of over 40 clinical studies that Unilever’s Slim.Fast brand has conducted. Official approval of these claims would enable products in the Slim.Fast portfolio that comply with the required conditions to make a claim that relates these meal replacement products to effective weight management," he added.
