VARIATIONS TO THE FOOD STANDARDS CODE

(AMENDMENT NO. 60)

1. Preamble

The variations set forth in the Schedule below are variations to the Food Standards Code (hereinafter called 'the Code') which was published by the National Health and Medical Research Council in the Commonwealth of Australia Gazette, No. P 27, on 27 August 1987, and which has been varied from time to time.

The Schedule contains variations adopted by the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Council in April and May 2002.

These variations are published pursuant to section 32 of the Australia New Zealand Food Authority Act 1991.

2. Citation

These variations may be collectively known as Amendment No. 60 to the Code.

3. Commencement

These variations commence on the date of gazettal.

4. Correction of Typographical Error

Amendment 59 published on 9 May 2002 contained the following typographical error -

On page 5 (Item [3.1]) - under the definition for ‘technological function’, the second last and last lines should read ‘manner which suggests that the organoleptic qualities have not been altered, other than through the process.’.

On page 6 (Item [3.5]) - clause 11(a)(iii) should read ‘United States Code of Federal Regulations, 1996, 21 CFR Part 172.515; or’.

Note: These variations were published in the Commonwealth of Australia Gazette No. FSC 2 on 29 June 2002.

Infant Formula Products

Purpose

This Standard provides for the compositional, and labelling requirements for foods intended or represented for use as a substitute for breast milk, herein referred to as ‘infant formula products’. This Standard applies to all infant formula products whether in powder, liquid concentrate or ‘ready to drink’ forms.

This Standard also provides for infant formula products intended for infants with special nutritional requirements.

Additionally, recommended guidelines regarding vitamins and minerals are contained at the end of this Standard. Standard 1.3.1 contains provisions relating to the food additives permitted in infant formula products. Standard 1.6.1 contains the microbiological limits in relation to infant formula products. Standard 1.3.4 contains specifications for permitted nucleotides and added nutrients. Standard 1.1.1 defines nutritive substances for the purposes of this Code.

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.

protein substitute means L-amino acids and/or the hydrolysate of one or more of the proteins on which infant formula product is normally based.

soy-based formula means an infant formula product in which soy protein isolate is the sole source of protein.

2 Interpretation

A reference to any infant formula product in the compositional provisions of this Standard is a reference to –

(a) a powdered or concentrated form of infant formula product which has been reconstituted with water according to directions; or

(b) an infant formula product in ‘ready to drink’ form.

Subdivision 2 – Calculations

3 Calculation of energy

The energy content of infant formula product, expressed in kilojoules (kJ), must be calculated

using –

(a) only the energy value contributions of the fat, protein and carbohydrate ingredients of the infant formula product; and

(b) the relevant energy factors set out in Standard 1.2.8.

4 Calculation of protein

The prescribed formula for the calculation of the protein content of infant formula product for the purposes of this Standard is -

Formula

For milk proteins and their partial protein hydrolysates -

Protein content = nitrogen content x 6.38; or

In any other case -

Protein content = nitrogen content x 6.25.

5 Calculation of potential renal solute load

The prescribed formula for the calculation of the potential renal solute load for the purposes of this Standard is -

Formula

Potential renal solute load in mOsm/100 kJ = [Na (mg/100 kJ) /23] + [Cl (mg/100 kJ) /35]

+ [K (mg/100 kJ) /39] + [P avail (mg/100 kJ)/ 31] + [N (mg/100 kJ) /28)].

In this formula

P avail = P of milk-based formula + 2/3 of P of soy-based formulas.

Subdivision 3 - General compositional requirements

6 Restrictions and prohibitions

(1) A vitamin, mineral, food additive or nutritive substance must not be added to infant formula product unless -

(a) expressly permitted by this Code; or

(b) it is naturally present in an ingredient of the infant formula product.

(2) Infant formula product must contain no detectable gluten.

7 Permitted nutritive substances

(1) Any nutritive substance listed in column 1 of the Table to this clause may be added to infant formula product provided that -

(a) the nutritive substance is in one or more of the forms specified in column 2 of the Table in relation to that substance; and

(b) the total amount of the nutritive substance in the infant formula product is no more than the amount specified in column 4 of the Table.

(2) The label on a package of infant formula product must not include any words indicating, or any other indication, that the product contains a nutritive substance specified in column 1 or in column 2 of the Table to this clause unless the total amount of the nutritive substance in the food is no less than the amount specified in column 3 of the Table.

Editorial note:

The intent of subclause 7(1) is that the maximum permitted amounts only apply when the substance is added, and in that case, it then applies to the sum of the naturally occurring and added nutritive substances.

This Standard contains guidelines on the use and format of nutrient information tables.
