National food safety standard - Older infants formula
1 Scope
This standard applies to formula foods, which are consumed by older infants
aged 6 ~ 12 months.
2 Terms and definitions
2.1 Older infant formula
A formula food, suitable for older infants, whose energy and nutrients can meet
the normal nutritional needs of infants aged 6 ~ 12 months.
2.2 Milk-based older infant formula
The product which, taking milk and milk protein products as the main source of
protein, by adding appropriate amount of vitamins, minerals and (or) other raw
materials, is processed and produced by only the physical methods.
2.3 Soy-based older infant formula
The product which, taking soybeans and soybean protein products as the main
source of protein, by adding appropriate amount of vitamins, minerals and (or)
other raw materials, is processed and produced by only the physical methods.
3 Technical requirements
3.1 Raw material requirements
3.1.1 The raw materials, which are used in the product, shall comply with the
corresponding safety standards and/or relevant regulations. It shall ensure the
safety of older infants; meet their nutritional needs. It shall not use the
substances that endanger the nutrition and health of older infants.
3.1.2 The raw materials and food additives used shall not contain gluten.
3.1.3 Hydrogenated grease shall not be used.
3.1.4 Raw materials, that have been irradiated, shall not be used.
3.2 Sensory requirements

shall be no foreign objects, which are visible with normal eyesight.
3.3 Essential ingredients
3.3.1 All the necessary ingredients in the product are necessary for the growth
and development of older infants.
3.3.2 In the ready-to-eat state, the energy contained in 100 mL of the product
shall be in the range of 250 kJ (60 kcal) ~ 314 kJ (75 kcal). The calculation of
energy is based on the content of protein, fat, carbohydrates in 100 mL of
product, which is multiplied by the energy coefficients of 17 kJ/g, 37 kJ/g, 17
kJ/g (the energy coefficient of dietary fiber is 8 kJ/g), THEN, the result is
summed up to obtain the kilojoules/100 mL (kJ/100 mL); it is then divided by
4.184, to get the value of kilocalorie/100 mL (kcal/100 mL).
3.3.3 The amount of protein, fat, carbohydrate per 100 kJ (100 kcal) in the
product shall meet the requirements of Table 1.
3.3.4 Older infant formula shall not use fructose and sucrose as the source of
carbohydrates. It may add glucose polymers appropriately (wherein starch can
be added after pre-gelatinization). For milk-based older infant formula, the
source of carbohydrates shall give priority to lactose (lactose shall account for
≥ 90% of carbohydrates).
3.9.2 The quality of food additives and nutritional fortifiers shall comply with the
corresponding standards and/or relevant regulations.
3.10 Urease activity
The activity of urease in soy-based older infant formula shall meet the
requirements in Table 7.

4 Others
4.1 Labels
4.1.1 The product label shall comply with GB 13432 and/or relevant regulations.
For the content label of essential and optional ingredients, it shall add the
indication of "100 kilojoule (100 kJ)" content.
4.1.2 In the label, it shall indicate the product category, attributes (such as milk-
based or soy-based products, as well as product status), applicable age. At the
same time, it shall indicate that "It must be supported and added with auxiliary
food".
4.1.3 There must be no images of babies and women on the label. It shall not
use such expressions as “human emulsification”, “breast emulsification” or
similar terms.
4.2 Instructions for use
4.2.1 For the information on product use, preparation instructions, illustrations,
storage conditions, it shall be clearly stated on the label. When the maximum
surface area of the package is less than 100 cm2, OR the mass of the product
is less than 100 g, the illustration may not be indicated.
4.2.2 The instructions shall give warnings about the health hazards, that may
be caused by improper preparation and improper use.
4.3 Packaging
It may use the carbon dioxide and (or) nitrogen, that meet the national food
safety standards, as packaging media.
