Proposal P1028 - Infant formula (Consultation paper 2 - Nutrient Composition)

Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) is reviewing regulatory requirements for infant formula under Proposal P1028 – Infant formula. This paper is one of a series of consultation papers that discusses regulatory options for Standard 2.9.1 and Schedule 29. The consultation papers will inform the 1st Call for Submissions which will summarise the entirety of considerations and outline the proposed regulatory approach. The focus of this paper is nutrient composition for macronutrients and energy, vitamins and minerals, permitted forms and other nutritive substances. Where relevant, the prescribed minimum and maximum type and value for the nutrient is discussed, as well as related information such as calculations. This paper follows previous consultations undertaken in 2012, 2016 and 2017 which considered these topics.
