✨ Food Standards for Infant Formula

1822 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE No. 68

Clauses

Division 1

Subdivision 1 – Interpretation

1 Definitions

(1)

The definitions in clauses 1 and 2 of Standard 1.2.8 apply to this Standard.

(2)

In this Code –

follow-on formula means an infant formula product represented as either a breast-milk substitute or replacement for infant formula and which constitutes the principal liquid source of nourishment in a progressively diversified diet for infants aged from six months.

infant means a person under the age of 12 months.

infant formula means an infant formula product represented as a breast milk substitute for infants and which satisfies the nutritional requirements of infants aged up to four to six months.

Editorial note:

A reference to infant formula product may include a reference to infant formula but the converse does not apply.

infant formula product means a product based on milk or other edible food constituents of animal or plant origin which is nutritionally adequate to serve as the principal liquid source of nourishment for infants.

Editorial note:

The intent of this definition is to limit the addition of ingredients to infant formula product to ingredients that would be considered to be foods. The addition of an ingredient that is not considered to be a food is prohibited unless specifically permitted elsewhere in this Standard.

Standard 1.5.1 contains prohibitions and restrictions relating to novel foods and novel food ingredients. Nothing contained in this Standard permits infant formula products to contain novel foods or novel food ingredients that are not permitted in Standard 1.5.1.

lactose free formula and low lactose formula means infant formula products which satisfy the needs of lactose intolerant infants.

medium chain triglycerides means triacylglycerols which contain predominantly the saturated fatty acids designated by 8:0 and 10:0.

pre-term formula means an infant formula product specifically formulated to satisfy particular needs of infants born prematurely or of low birthweight.
