Flora/Becel pro.activ foods for cholesterol lowering

The Flora/Becel pro.activ is a range of plant sterol enriched foods proven to significantly lower cholesterol. It was developed for people who want to actively lower their cholesterol levels through dietary changes. Flora/Becel pro.activ foods are part of a healthy diet and lifestyle, not a substitute for one.

Internationally recognised as a safe way to lower cholesterol

Flora/Becel pro.activ was the first spread to fully comply with the European Union Novel Foods legislation. It has been approved as safe by independent authorities in Europe, Switzerland, United States, Australia, New Zealand, South America, Brazil, Israel, Iceland and Japan.

In the United States, the product has received GRAS status (Generally Recognised As Safe) by the Food and Drug Administration. In 2004, the Flora/Becel range was extended following European Union Novel Foods approval of plant sterol enriched milk, yogurt and ‘one-a-day’ yogurt mini-drink.
