Regulation (EU) No 609/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 June 2013 on food intended for infants and young children, food for special medical purposes, and total diet replacement for weight control and repealing Council Directive 92/52/EEC, Commission Directives 96/8/EC, 1999/21/EC, 2006/125/EC and 2006/141/EC, Directive 2009/39/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Commission Regulations (EC) No 41/2009 and (EC) No 953/2009 Text with EEA relevance · European Union

(30) Directive 1999/21/EC requires that certain compositional requirements for infant formula and for follow-on formula as set out in Directive 2006/141/EC apply to food for special medical purposes intended for infants, depending on their age. However, certain provisions, including those relating to labelling, presentation, advertising, and promotional and commercial practices, set out in Directive 2006/141/EC currently do not apply to such food. Developments in the market accompanied by a significant increase of such food make it necessary to review requirements for formulae intended for infants such as requirements on the use of pesticides in products intended for production of such formulae, pesticide residues, labelling, presentation, advertising, and promotional and commercial practices that should also apply, as appropriate, to food for special medical purposes developed to satisfy the nutritional requirements of infants.
