Food information about baby, toddler, and medical nutrition

01 March 2016

Because Regulation (EC) 609/2013 only contains general requirements for composition and information, special requirements have to be made for infant formulae and follow-on formulae, and for dietary foods for special medical purposes. The specific legislation in Regulations (EU) 2016/127 and (EU) 2016/128 concerns matters such as specific compositional requirements, name, food information, nutrition declaration, and nutrition and health claims. Regulation (EU) 2016/127 contains specific requirements for infant formula and follow-on formula. Regulation (EU) 2016/128 contains specific requirements for food for special medical purposes (Newsletter Waar&Wet, 9 February 2016).
