Formulated Supplementary Sports Foods


Purpose

This Standard defines and regulates the composition and labelling of foods specially formulated to assist sports people in achieving specific nutritional or performance goals. Such foods are intended as supplements to a diet rather than for use as the sole or principal source of nutrition.

Due to the particular physiological demands of sports people, this Standard provides for the addition to formulated supplementary sports foods of certain micronutrients and other ingredients which are not permitted to be added to other foods. This means that such products are not suitable for consumption by children.
