FUNCTIONAL FOOD PRODUCTS IN EUROPE

Nina Ivanovna Myachikova

Adriana Georgievna Birca

The article presents the results of literature review regarding the functional food products in Europe. The beginning of the twenty-first century is marked with growing and ageing population, thus functional food products will constitute a challenge for Europe's food and agricultural industry. The positive effects of functional food products can be either in maintaining a state of well-being and health and reducing the risk of pathologic diseases. However, this progress must be based on a sound scientific basis. The consensus on functional claims must be carefully evaluated and adapted to each culture so as to be adopted by conscious European consumers

Keywords: Functional food, healthy food, nutrients, functional claims.
