APPENDIX IV. PROPOSED DRAFT REVISED STANDARD FOR PROCESSED CEREAL-BASED FOODS FOR INFANTS AND YOUNG CHILDREN

(At Step 5 of the Procedure)

1. SCOPE

This standard covers processed cereal-based foods intended for feeding infants as a complement to breast milk or infant formula when, from the age of [4 to 6 months] onwards, breast feeding alone or infant formula is no longer sufficient to satisfy nutritional requirements and for feeding young children as part of their progressively diversified diet.

2. DESCRIPTION

Processed cereal-based foods are prepared primarily from one or more milled cereals and/or legumes (pulses) and/or starchy root or stem products which constitute at least 25% of the final mixture on a dry weight basis.

2.1. PRODUCT DEFINITIONS

Four categories are distinguished:

2.1.1 simple cereals which are or have to be reconstituted with milk or other appropriate nutritious liquids;

2.1.2 Cereals with an added high protein food which are or have to be reconstituted with water or other protein-free liquid

2.1.3 Pasta which are to be used after cooking in boiling water or other appropriate liquids;

2.1.4 Rusks and biscuits which are to be used either directly or, after pulverization, with the addition of water, milk or other suitable liquids.

2.2 OTHER DEFINITIONS

2.2.1 The term infant means a person not more than 12 months of age.
