What are the specialties?

Question 1: Special foods include special nutritious foods, including infant foods, fortified foods, foods with adjusted nutritional components, etc. Some health foods also belong to special nutritious foods, and foods whose nutritional structure has changed greatly through artificial processing are called special nutritious foods.

Question 2: What are the common special meals? The categories of foods for special dietary uses mainly include:

1. Infant formula: infant formula, older infant formula, infant formula for special medical purposes.

Infant formula food is divided into milk-based infant formula food and bean-based infant formula food according to raw materials.

Milk-based infant formula milk powder: refers to the liquid or powder products which are made of milk and milk protein products as the main raw materials, added with proper amount of vitamins, minerals and/or other ingredients and only produced and processed by physical methods. It is suitable for normal infants, and its energy and nutrients can meet the normal nutritional needs of infants aged 0-6 months.

Bean infant formula food: refers to the liquid or powder products made of soybeans and soybean protein products as the main raw materials, with proper amount of vitamins, minerals and/or other ingredients, and only produced and processed by physical methods. It is suitable for normal infants, and its energy and nutrients can meet the normal nutritional needs of infants aged 0-6 months.

Second, infant complementary food: infant cereal complementary food and infant canned complementary food.

According to the formula and eating method, infant food supplements can be divided into: infant food supplements, high-protein infant food supplements, raw cereal infant food supplements, infant biscuits or other cereal infant food supplements.

3. Formula food for special medical use (except the varieties involved in infant formula food for special medical use) refers to formula food specially processed and prepared to meet the special needs of people with food restrictions, digestive and absorption disorders, metabolic disorders or specific disease states for nutrients or meals. Such products must be eaten alone or mixed with other foods under the guidance of a doctor or clinical dietitian. Including:

(1) Total nutrition formula food: formula food for special medical use that can be used as a single nutrition source to meet the nutritional needs of the target population.

(2) Specific total nutrition formula food: formula food for special medical use that can be used as a single nutrition source to meet the nutritional needs of the target population under specific diseases or medical conditions.

(3) Non-nutritive formula food: formula food that can meet part of the nutritional needs of the target population and is not suitable for special medical use as a single nutritional source.

Four, in addition to the above categories of other foods for special dietary uses, including food supplements, sports nutrition food, and other foods for special dietary uses with corresponding national standards.

Question 3: What does food include? This question is too broad. Food refers to all kinds of finished products and raw materials for human consumption or drinking, as well as articles that are traditionally both food and medicine, but does not include articles for therapeutic purposes, including processed food, semi-finished products and unprocessed food, nor does it include tobacco or substances used only as medicine.

Question 4: What are the special medicinal foods? Formula food for special medical use is food for special dietary use, not medicine, but not ordinary food for normal people, but formula food specially developed and produced by clinicians and nutritionists on the basis of scientific and objective facts after a lot of medical research. When the target population can't eat ordinary meals or can't meet their nutritional needs with daily meals, the formula food for special medical use can be used as a nutritional supplement to play a nutritional support role. Food can't replace the therapeutic effect of drugs, and products can't claim to have preventive and therapeutic effects on diseases. At present, according to the different clinical needs and applicable populations, formula foods for special medical purposes are divided into three categories, namely, total nutrition formula foods, specific total nutrition formula foods and non-total nutrition formula foods. Total nutrition formula refers to the formula for special medical use that can be used as a single nutrient source to meet the nutritional needs of the target population, and is suitable for people who need comprehensive nutrient supplementation and have no special requirements for specific nutrients. For example, foods such as fully nutritious formula foods suitable for people aged 1 ~ 10, and fully nutritious formula foods suitable for people aged 10 or above. Specific total nutrition formula food refers to the formula food for special medical use that can be used as a single nutrition source to meet the nutritional needs of the target population under specific diseases or medical conditions, is suitable for people who need to fully supplement nutrients under specific diseases or medical conditions, and can meet the special needs of people for some nutrients. For example: total nutrition formula for diabetes, total nutrition formula for respiratory diseases, total nutrition formula for nephropathy, total nutrition formula for tumor, total nutrition formula for liver diseases, total nutrition formula for muscular dystrophy syndrome, total nutrition formula for stress states such as trauma, infection and surgery, and total nutrition formula for inflammatory bowel diseases. Non-total nutrition formula refers to the formula for special medical use that can meet the nutritional needs of the target population, and is not suitable for people who need to supplement single or partial nutrients as a single nutritional source. For example, foods such as nutritional ingredients (protein ingredients, fat ingredients and carbohydrate ingredients), electrolyte formulas, thickening ingredients, liquid formulas and amino acid metabolism formulas.

Question 8: What is foods for special dietary uses? Foods for special dietary uses refers to the food specially processed according to a special formula to meet the physiological needs of some special people or the nutritional needs of patients with certain diseases.

First, a certain food or a certain kind of food is most suitable for certain (special) people, such as infants, young children, diabetics, people who are seriously deficient in certain nutrients, etc. Due to physiological reasons, the dietary structure required by this group of people is obviously different from that of the general population. Secondly, the nutritional components of foods made for this group of people are obviously different from those of comparable ordinary foods, and some of them have very low or high nutritional components, such as infant formula milk powder needed by non-breastfed babies, and their nutritional components and contents are obviously different from those of milk powder eaten by adults. Foods for special dietary uses can only be called if two conditions are met.
