PROMULGATING THE NATIONAL TECHNICAL REGULATION

ON INFANT FORMULA( FOR CHILDREN UP TO 12 MONTHS OF AGE)

...

...

...

QCVN 11-1:2012/BYT is submitted by Vietnam Food Administration and promulgated together with the Circular No. 20/2012/TT-BYT dated November 15^th 2012 of the Minister of Health.

PROMULGATING THE NATIONAL TECHNICAL REGULATION

ON FORMULATED FOODS FOR CHILDREN UP TO 12 MONTHS

I. GENERAL provisions

1. Scope of regulation

This Regulation deals with the food safety standards of food safety and quality, and the requirements of the management of infant formula for children up to 12 months of age (hereinafter referred to as infant formula).

2. Subjects of application

This Regulation is applicable to:

...

...

...

2.2. Relevant State management agencies

3. Interpretation of terms and abbreviations

In this Regulation, the terms and abbreviations below are construed as follows:

3.1. Infant formula are liquid or powdered products that satisfy the nutritional requirements of children up to 12 months of age (hereinafter referred to as infants), that are made from:

- Cow’s milk or other animals’ milk or their mixture,

- Other appropriate ingredients.

Infant formula could be used as a breast-milk substitute as prescribed in the Joint Circular No. 10/2006/TTLT/BYT-BTM-BVHTT-UBDSGDTE dated August 25^th 2006, guiding the implementation of the Government's Decree No. 21/2006/ND-CP dated February 27^th 2006 on the trade and use of dietary products for children.

3.2. GUL: Guidance Upper Level. These levels are for nutrients without sufficient information for a science-based risk assessment. These values are established based on the fulfillment of nutritional requirements of infants and the information about safe use. They may be adjusted based on relevant scientific or technological progress. The purpose of the GULs is to provide guidance for producers and they should not be interpreted as goal values.

Nutrient contents in infant formulas must not exceed the GULs unless higher nutrient levels cannot be avoided due to the change in ingredients or due to technological reasons. Producers must not increase the levels of nutrients to reach GULs when that of their products are lower than GUL.

...

...

...

3.4. DHA: Docosahexaenoic acid.

3.5. IU: International Unit.

3.6. PUFA: Poly-unsaturated Fatty Acids.

II. TECHNICAL PROVISIONS

1. Fundamental constituents

1.1. General requirements

1.1.1. Ingredients and food additives in the production must ensure the food safety and hygiene, be gluten-free, and suitable for the digestion of infants.

1.1.2. Nutritional safety and the nutritional adequacy must be scientifically proved to support the growth and development of infants.

Notes:

¹⁾   Protein content in infant formula (prepared ready for consumption as recommended by the producer) is equal to N x 6.25 (N is nitrogen content). Scientific justification must be provided for the use of a different conversion factor. The protein levels in this Regulation are based on the nitrogen conversion factor of 6.25. The value of 6.38 is generally established as a specific factor appropriate for conversion of nitrogen to protein in other milk products, and the value of 5.71 as a specific factor for conversion of nitrogen to protein in other soy products.

²⁾   For an equal energy value, the product must contain an available quantity of each essential and semi-essential amino acid at least equal to that contained in the breast-milk (the reference values are provided in Annex I of this Regulation); for calculation purposes, the concentrations of tyrosine and phenylalanine may be added together. The concentrations of methionine and cysteine may be added together if the ratio is less than 2:1; in case the ratio is between 2:1 and 3:1, the suitability of the product has to be proved by clinical testing.

³⁾   Isolated amino acids may be added to infant formula only to improve its nutritional value. Essential and semi-essential amino acids may be added only in amounts necessary for improving protein quality. Only L-forms of amino acids shall be used.

Trans fatty acids are endogenous components of milk fat Up to 3% of trans fatty acids is accepted for the use of milk fat in infant formula. The amount of erucic acid must not exceed 1% of total fatty acids. The amount of phospholipids should not exceed 300 mg/100 kcal (72 mg/100 kJ).
