Project background

Foods for special medical purposes are specially processed and formulated to meet the special needs of people with restricted eating, digestion and absorption disorders, metabolic disorders or specific disease states for nutrients or diet. These products must be eaten alone or in combination with other foods under the guidance of a doctor or clinical nutritionist.

According to Article 74 of Chapter IV of the Food Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, the state implements strict supervision and management of special food such as health food, food for special medical purposes, and formulated food for infants and young children.
