Member States had provided theEuropean Commission with lists of claims accompanied by the conditions applying to them and byreferences to the relevant scientific justification by 31 January 2008.EFSA has received from the European Commission nine Access databases with a consolidated list of 4,185 main health claim entries with around 10,000 similar health claims. The similar health claimswere accompanied by the conditions of use and scientific references. The nine Access databases weresent in three batches - in July 2008, in November 2008 and in December 2008.Subsequently, EFSA combined the databases into one master database and re-allocated upon requestof the Commission and Member States similar health claims which had been accidentally placed undera wrong main health claim entry (misplaced claims). During this process some Member States also
identified a number of similar health claims which still needed to be submitted to EFSA (―missingclaims‖). These similar claims were also added to the database.
The references to the scientific justifications provided by Member States were either included in thedatabase or were provided in separate files. In addition, full-text copies of references were provideddirectly to EFSA from stakeholders. The deadline for submission of these references was end of 2008.EFSA wishes to acknowledge the full-text copies of relevant literature provided by stakeholders untilthat date. In some instances, references provided to EFSA were referring to papers which weresubmitted for publication. In case the publication had in the meanwhile taken place EFSA has includedthe correct citation in the list of references and this may result in some references carrying a 2009publication date.EFSA has screened all health claims on the list using six criteria established by the NDA Panel toidentify claims for which EFSA considers sufficient information has been provided for evaluation andthose for which for which more information or clarification is needed before evaluation can be carried
