Brussels, 22 October 2015 – On 21 October 2015, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) published its scientific opinion “Risk assessment for peri- and post-menopausal women taking soy food supplements containing isolated isoflavones”. The risk assessment concludes that human data do not indicate any suspected harmful effects from a potential interaction of isoflavones on endocrine pathways (in mammary gland, uterus and/or thyroid). These conclusions about food supplements indirectly confirm the safety of foods which naturally contain isoflavones at lower levels than food supplements, such as soy foods.
