In Europe, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) is responsible for approving and promoting the relevance of alpha-linolenic fatty acid in the brain development of infants and children and in cardiovascular prevention through lower LDL cholesterol. (Scientific substantiation of a health claim related to ALA and contribution to brain development pursuant to Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1924/20061).
