| Description: | PARNUTs are specifically produced foodstuffs designed to suit the particular nutritional need of specific
consumer groups. They are ‘clearly distinguishable from foodstuffs for normal consumption, are suitable
for their claimed nutritional purposes and are marketed in such a way as to indicate such suitability’.
A wide variety of PARNUTs exist on the European market. Currently, PARNUTs are regulated by a
Framework Directive (2009/39/EC) and specific pieces of related legislation (five Directives and one
Regulation) which set out specific rules for certain categories of PARNUTs. To simplify the regulation
of PARNUTs, the European Commission proposed changes to the legislation governing PARNUTs
in November 2011. These changes involved repealing the Framework Directive (2009/39/EC) and
regulating PARNUTs under various pieces of food legislation. It was proposed that three specific
Directives (Infant Formula and Follow-on Formula, Food Intended for Infants and Young Children and
Foods for Special Medical Purposes (FSMPs)) would be combined into a single new Regulation called
Food Intended for Infants and Young Children and Food for Special Medical Purposes. |
