Authorised health claims and their scientific opinions offer valuable insights into health effects of foods and food ingredients. However, these texts are highly technical and not easily accessible to those interested in the development and use of healthy food products and diets. In this paper, we present the development of a knowledge graph that uses the information of 260 authorised health claims. The knowledge graph, based on data from scientific opinions, is subdivided into four ontological dimensions: the food (ingredient); the health effect; the target group; and the scientific evidence underlying the cause-and-effect relationship. Various differences were found between authorised claims and their underlying scientific opinions. These findings underline the need for further structuring the approach to substantiating and assessing health claims. Most importantly however, the development of this knowledge graph allows consumers, food producers and health care professionals to make personalised decisions in selecting healthy nutrition.
