Purpose
This Standard regulates the sale, composition and labelling of foods specially formulated for the dietary management of individuals with certain diseases, disorders or medical conditions. Food regulated by this Standard is intended to be used under medical supervision.
Because of the specialised nature and purpose of these foods, this Standard includes a restriction on the premises at which, and the persons by whom, food for special medical purposes may be sold to consumers.
Infant formula products as defined in Standard 2.9.1 of the Code and products formulated and represented as being for the dietary management of obesity or overweight are excluded from Standard 2.9.5, even though they might meet the requirements of this Standard.
Editorial note:
In accordance with usual practice, this Standard must be read in the context of the whole Code. This Standard both incorporates and exempts existing Standards in the Code, and also applies additional requirements specifically for food for special medical purposes. Where existing requirements have been incorporated, these are replicated in the Standard rather than cross referenced to the original Standard, for accuracy and ease of use.
