Stakeholder engagement and dissemination This work package brought together a community of interested stakeholders (e.g. industry, regulatory bodies, clinical trial specialists, scientists, health professionals and civil society) to reflect on project findings at key stages of the project. It also promoted the use of project results by the stakeholders by:
Establishing the regulatory framework This work package developed the ground work for the project by establishing the regulatory frameworks for health and nutrition claims and their interaction with the research activities and related developments supported within this area. This Work Package mapped:
Exploring the interaction between legislation and health research and/or innovation in the food chain This work package determined the extent to, and the way in which health claim legislation is related to research-based innovation in the food chain by:

Trends in Food Science & Technology. doi.org/10.1016/j.tifs.2017.10.015 Nutrition economic models for food constituents associated with 'reduction of disease risk' claims This work package used nutrition economic modelling methods to calculate the potential health and economic impact of 'reduction in disease risk' claims on the general population by establishing the proportion of the population with sub-optimal consumption of the food (constituent) of interest and the impact of optimal consumption levels on disease burden and health care costs. Study findings are detailed in this paper: Yang W, Heather Gage H, Daniel Jackson D, Raats M (in press) The effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of plant sterol or stanol-enriched functional foods as a primary prevention strategy for people with cardiovascular disease risk in England: a modelling study. European Journal of Health Economics. doi.org/10.1007/s10198-017-0934-2 Project management This work package ensured effective technical coordination and project management is implemented and sustained to successfully complete all aspects of the proposal.
