Where the regulation applies

The regulation concerns specified specialised foods, including dietary foods for therapeutic and preventive use. Classification depends on the target population, formulation and intended purpose, not merely the product name.

What the regulation covers

Checks address microbiological safety, contaminants and suitability of the composition for the target population. Claimed nutritional properties, use restrictions and label recommendations require supporting evidence.

Examples of products and facilities

  • sports nutrition foods
  • foods for pregnant women
  • foods for breastfeeding women
  • dietary foods for therapeutic use
  • dietary foods for preventive use

These examples are indicative. Applicability depends on intended use, specifications and the regulation’s exclusions.

Documentation we help prepare

PLANCK reviews the formulation, evidence of intended use, labelling and state-registration materials and helps identify the assessment route and prepare the required documentation.

Before selecting a route, we check the current text, effective date, transitional provisions and exclusions. Listing a regulation does not mean it already applies to every product in that category.

What to prepare

  • Technical description and intended use
  • The key parameters listed above
  • Models, manufacturer and applicant details
  • Existing conformity evidence

What you receive

A requirements matrix for your product: scope, assessment route, necessary evidence and next actions.
