Download the ISDI brochure about FSDU! The brochure is for general information purpose and aims to facilitate the reading and understanding of THE GENERAL STANDARD FOR THE LABELLING OF AND CLAIMS FOR PREPACKAGED FOODS FOR SPECIAL DIETARY USES — CODEX STAN 146-1985.

📚 We've updated our brochure on the international #CodexAlimentarius standards for FSDU: www.isdi.org/download-the...

✅ All the latest updates to #CodexStandards.
✅ New text on the importance of using standardised terminology when defining or describing FSDU.

#SpecialisedNutrition

The site currently covers final methods for analysing nutrients in infant formula and follow-up formula. Future updates of the site will expand it to cover other categories of #SpecialDietaryFoods, as well as contaminants.

Access it here: testmethods-specialdietaryfoods.app/en/

✅ Using methods that aren’t fit for purpose can cause serious problems, for example for manufacturers and regulators. This website will help mitigate those risks by facilitating easy access to the best, most up-to-date analytical methods.

#MethodsOfAnalysis

➡️ It provides all the relevant information about the methods, including how they relate to #CodexStandards.

➡️ It is our industry's commitment to improving #FoodSafety and quality, innovation and global regulatory harmony.

➡️ It is designed to help improve #FoodSafety and quality, as well as promote harmonised testing globally.

➡️ It assists authorities, laboratories and industry professionals to identify the most reliable and internationally recognised test methods.

📢 We're delighted to announce that our new Test Methods for Special Dietary Foods website is now live: testmethods-specialdietaryfoods.app/en/

The website is a comprehensive guide to the most suitable analytical methods for determining nutrients in special dietary foods.

#WorldFoodSafetyDay

Our #WorldFoodSafetyDay webinar on 'Methods of analysis for special dietary foods: How science ensures food safety and quality for people with special dietary needs' took place yesterday, looking at the science behind analytical methods and how they contribute to #FoodSafety.

💬 Standards are only as good as their implementation and #MethodsOfAnalysis. Without such methods we would have no idea whether a commodity was meeting provisions that had been established to ensure the food was safe, or meet the quality parameters or nutritional requirements.
