Health claims as "Vitamin D is essential for bone growth of children" and "Calcium is essential for healthy bone growth of children" and similar claims are allowed. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has a number of health claims on the development and health of children included on the community list of allowed claims. However, the claims must be used under various conditions. For example that the food should actually be a source of calcium. The EFSA has also rejected a number of health claims like the claim "Milk products (milk and cheese) promote healthy teeth for children”. The rejected health claims can be used until May 2010.
