Codex Alimentarius Committee on Nutrition and Foods forSpecial Dietary Uses (CCNFSDU) to meet early December in Berlin (Germany) to resume work on follow-up formulas, ready-to-eat foods for nutritionally deprived people, a definition of biofortification, a nutritional reference value for EPA and DHA, possibly define the condition of using claims 'free from fatty acids', and respond to the Codex Committee on Food Labelling on Nutrition Profiling System(s), among other standardization works

摘要

The 39th session of the Codex Alimentarius Committee on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Uses (Berlin, Germany; 4-8 December 2017) has a heavy agenda to cover. This specialised Codex Committee is one of the horizontal committees of the Codex Alimentarius Commission, however it also elaborates Codex vertical standards on very specific foods, generally called "baby foods". The Committee oversees nutrition labelling and claims (with CCFL), food and dietary supplements, foods for special consumergroups (e.g. gluten-free, foods for special medical purposes).
