Synopsis (short abstract) This report was prepared to provide scientific advice to the Codex Committee on Foods for Special Dietary Uses (CCNFSDU) on the details of dietary intake reference values (DIRVs) for protein and 24 micronutrients for older infants (6–12 months) and young children (12–36 months) in the publications of six recognized authoritative scientific bodies (RASBs) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO). These publications were previously used to select DIRVs as the basis for Codex nutrient reference values–requirements (NRV-R) for the general population.The scientific advice includes an assessment of the salient similarities and differences of methods used to derive the DIRVs. Ten methods were identified and grouped into three categories ranked according to discrete approach and associated level of scientific rigour. The three categories presented, are proposed as suitable for inclusion in the general principles for establishment of NRVs-R for older infants and young children. The outcomes of the report contributes to FAO Strategic Objective for Better Nutrition and to SDG 2 (End hunger, acheive food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture).

    The significance of industrial processing for the nature of food and the state of human health - and in particular the techniques and ingredients developed by modern food science and technology - is generally underestimated. This is evident in both national and international policies and strategies designed to improve populations' nutrition and health. Until recently it has also been neglected in epidemiological and experimental studies concerning diet, nutrition and health. This report seeks to assess the impact of ultra-processed food on diet quality and health, based on NOVA, a food classification system developed by researchers at the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil.
