Pursuant to Article 16(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, Decision 2009/980/EU included the following condition of use of that health claim: ‘Information to the consumer that the beneficial effect is obtained with a daily consumption of 3 g WSTC I or 150 mg WSTC II in up to 250 ml of either fruit juices, flavoured drinks or yogurt drinks (unless heavily pasteurised)’.\n(2)\nIn that context, the applicant, Provexis Natural Products Ltd., submitted on 31 March 2010 an application for the modification of the authorisation of the relevant health claim pursuant to Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. The modification concerns an extension of the conditions of use accompanying the authorised health claim, allowing in particular its use in food supplements.\n(3)\nThe Authority was required to deliver an opinion on the modification of the conditions of use of the health claim as proposed by the applicant. On 23 July 2010, the Commission and the Member States received a scientific opinion from the Authority (Question No EFSA-Q-2010-00809) which concluded that on the basis of the data submitted, a cause and effect relationship had been established between the consumption of WSTC I and II in food supplements, such as powder sachets, tablets and capsules, and the claimed effect.\n(4)\nTaking into account the scientific opinion of the Authority, and in order to extend the use of the health claim to foods other than those already authorised, it is therefore necessary to amend its conditions of use.\n(5)\nDecision 2009/980/EU should therefore be amended accordingly,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:",
