lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, the European Food Safety Authority is investigating health claims on food products, the so-called Article 13 claims. This is very important for citizens. Their NDA Panel which does this work has rejected, however, 95% of claims for plant-based foods – maybe in many cases with good reason – but among the claims rejected is the claim that prunes have a laxative effect. Now according to the NDA there is no cause and effect between eating prunes and normal bowel function. I have asked the Commission if it is satisfied with the criteria and the methodology used for testing such claims because I know that prunes contain two substances, sorbitol and dihydrophenylisatin, which have laxative effects. But most of our constituents do not require a scientific test. So I would ask you, Mr Vice-President, if you would, on our behalf, challenge Commissioner Dalli to a prune-eating contest so that he can see for himself."@en1
