Abstract
dc.description.abstract
The follow-up formula (FUF) standard of Codex Alimentarius
adopted in 1987 does not correspond to the recently updated
Codex infant formula (IF) standard and current scientific
knowledge. New Zealand proposed a revision of the FUF Codex
standard and asked the non-profit Early Nutrition Academy,
in collaboration with the Federation of International
Societies for Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and
Nutrition (FISPGHAN), for a consultation with paediatric nutrition
experts to provide scientific guidance. This global expert
group strongly supports breastfeeding. FUF are considered
dispensable because IF can substitute for breastfeeding throughout infancy, but FUF are widely used and thus
the outdated current FUF standard should be revised. Like IF,
FUF serve as breast milk substitutes; hence their marketing
should respect appropriate standards. The compositional requirements
for FUF for infants from 6 months onwards presented
here were unanimously agreed upon. For some nutrients,
the compositional requirements for FUF differ from
those of IF due to differing needs with infant maturation as
well as a rising contribution of an increasingly diversified diet
with advancing age. FUF should be fed with adequate complementary
feeding that is also appropriate for partially
breastfed infants. FUF could be fed also after the age of 1
year without safety concerns, but different compositional requirements
should be applied for optimal, age-adapted
milk-based formulations for young children used only after
the age of 1 year. This has not been considered as part of this
review and should be the subject of further consideration.
