Food Safety
Food safety and integrity are priorities for all consumers, governments and food manufacturers. To ensure appropriate safety of foods manufactured for infants and young children, there are specific rules in the area of food safety and hygiene.
Foods for special dietary uses must comply with statutory and regulatory provisions on hygiene, the use of food additives, the controls on contaminants and the use of food contact materials.
ISDI aspires to be a recognised leader and partner in food safety for specialised dietary foods. Our expertise in processes, ingredients, systems and data enable us to provide robust scientific information to support risk analysis and decisions taken by Codex and other global, regional and national authoritative bodies.
