This report reviews functional foods from a multidisciplinary perspective focusing on safety, legal/policy aspects,
economy, public perceptions and ethics. It attempts to clarify the main issues and provides comprehensive
recommendations for policymaking, especially since functional foods are being introduced into society
at a particularly sensitive moment when food has become a main issue in public debates and a focal point
of political activity in Europe. Diet-related diseases have assumed epidemic proportions significantly
affecting the quality of life while obesity is spreading to the majority of the adult population but also to
young people. These foods assume a highly targeted solution to diet-related diseases with effective
reduction of risk and improved physical and mental well-being, but are still faced with a host of unresolved issues.
