Abstract
dc.description.abstract
Background: There are no internationally agreed recommendations
on compositional requirements of follow-up
formula for young children (FUF-YC) aged 1–3 years. Aim:
The aim of the study is to propose international compositional recommendations for FUF-YC. Methods: Compositional
recommendations for FUF-YC were devised by expert
consensus based on a detailed literature review of nutrient
intakes and unmet needs in children aged 12–36 months.
Results and Conclusions: Problematic nutrients with often
inadequate intakes are the vitamins A, D, B12, C and folate,
calcium, iron, iodine and zinc. If used, FUF-YC should be fed
along with an age-appropriate mixed diet, usually contributing
1–2 cups (200–400 ml) of FUF-YC daily (approximately
15% of total energy intake). Protein from cow’s milk-based formula should provide 1.6–2.7 g/100 kcal. Fat content
should be 4.4–6.0 g/100 kcal. Carbohydrate should contribute
9–14 g/100 kcal with >50% from lactose. If other sugars
are added, they should not exceed 10% of total carbohydrates.
Calcium should provide 200 mg/100 kcal. Other micronutrient
contents/100 kcal should reach 15% of the
World Health Organization/Food and Agriculture Organization
recommended nutrient intake values. A guidance upper
level that was 3–5 times of the minimum level was established.
Countries may adapt compositional requirements,
considering recommended nutrient intakes, habitual
diets, nutritional status and existence of micronutrient programs
to ensure adequacy while preventing excessive intakes.
