Standard 2.9.2

Foods for Infants

Purpose

This Standard provides for the compositional (including nutritional) and labelling requirements of foods intended and/or represented for use as food for infants. Foods in this Standard are intended to be fed to infants in addition to human milk and/or infant formula products. This Standard does not apply to Infant Formula Products, as they are regulated by Standard 2.9.1, nor does it apply to Formulated Meal Replacements and Formulated Supplementary Foods as they are regulated by Standard 2.9.3.

The Standard recognises the specific needs of infants relating to the texture of the food, the infant’s digestion ability, renal capacity and the need for high energy and nutrient intake to support rapid growth. This Standard recognises the particular microbiological and immunological susceptibility of infants including the potential for the development of food allergy.

General labelling requirements are contained in Part 1.2. Microbiological requirements are contained in Standard 1.6.1 – Microbiological Limits for Food.

This Standard amends the application of Standard 1.2.8 – Nutrition Information Requirements in relation to food for infants.
