The European Commission has opened a consultation period regarding the introduction of cereulide limits for specific infant nutrition products. The proposal aims to enhance safety standards for the youngest consumers.
According to Food Safety News, the proposed limits would apply to dried infant formula and dried follow-on formula. The plans also include dried dietary foods intended for special medical purposes for infants under six months old.
The initiative seeks to balance the need for increased child safety with the requirement for fair trade and production standards across the region.
