Purpose
This Standard provides for the compositional, and labelling requirements for foods intended or represented for use as a substitute for breast milk, herein referred to as ‘infant formula products’.  This Standard applies to all infant formula products whether in powder, liquid concentrate or ‘ready to drink’ forms. 
This Standard also provides for infant formula products intended for infants with special nutritional requirements.
There are Guidelines for Infant Formula Products at the end of this Standard.  These Guidelines do not form part of the legally binding Standard.
Standard 1.3.1 contains provisions relating to the food additives permitted in infant formula products.  Standard 1.6.1 contains the microbiological limits in relation to infant formula products.  Standard 1.3.4 contains specifications for permitted nucleotides and added nutrients.  Standard 1.1.1 defines nutritive substances for the purposes of this Code.
See Standard 1.5.1 – Novel Foods for requirements for novel food and novel food ingredients.

Clauses
Division 1
Subdivision 1 – Interpretation
1             Definitions
(1)           The definitions in clauses 1 and 2 of Standard 1.2.8 apply to this Standard.
(2)           In this Code –
infant means a person under the age of 12 months.
infant formula product means a product based on milk or other edible food constituents of animal or plant origin which is nutritionally adequate to serve as the principal liquid source of nourishment for infants.
infant formula means an infant formula product represented as a breast milk substitute for infants and which satisfies the nutritional requirements of infants aged up to four to six months.
follow-on formula means an infant formula product represented as either a breast-milk substitute or replacement for infant formula and which constitutes the principal liquid source of nourishment in a progressively diversified diet for infants aged from six months.
lactose free formula and low lactose formula means infant formula products which satisfy the needs of lactose intolerant infants.
pre-term formula means an infant formula product specifically formulated to satisfy particular needs of infants born prematurely or of low birthweight.
soy-based formula means an infant formula product in which soy protein isolate is the sole source of protein.
medium chain triglycerides means triacylglycerols which contain predominantly the saturated fatty acids designated by 8:0 and 10:0.

protein substitute means –
(a)           L-amino acids; or
(b)          the hydrolysate of one or more of the proteins on which infant formula product is normally based; or
(c)           a combination of L-amino acids and the hydrolysate of one or more of the proteins on which infant formula product is normally based.
Editorial note:
Subclause 1(2) is structured to indicate that the definitions of specific infant formula products are within the more general ‘infant formula product’ definition. Therefore the usual practice of listing definitions in alphabetical order has not been applied in this subclause.
2             Interpretation
A reference to any infant formula product in the compositional provisions of this Standard is a reference to –
(a)          a powdered or concentrated form of infant formula product which has been reconstituted with water according to directions; or
(b)          an infant formula product in ‘ready to drink’ form.
Subdivision 2 – Calculations
3             Calculation of energy
The energy content of infant formula product, expressed in kilojoules (kJ), must be calculated using –
(a)          only the energy value contributions of the fat, protein and carbohydrate ingredients of the infant formula product; and
(b)          the relevant energy factors set out in Standard 1.2.8.
4             Calculation of protein
The prescribed formula for the calculation of the protein content of infant formula product for the purposes of this Standard is –
Formula
For milk proteins and their partial protein hydrolysates –
              Protein content = nitrogen content x 6.38; or
In any other case –
              Protein content = nitrogen content x 6.25.
5             Calculation of potential renal solute load
The prescribed formula for the calculation of the potential renal solute load for the purposes of this Standard is –
Formula
Potential renal solute load in mOsm/100 kJ = [Na (mg/100 kJ) /23] + [Cl (mg/100 kJ) /35]
+ [K (mg/100 kJ) /39] + [P avail (mg/100 kJ)/ 31] + [N (mg/100 kJ) /28)].

In this formula
P avail  = P of milk-based formula + 2/3 of P of soy-based formulas.
Subdivision 3 – General compositional requirements
6             Restrictions and prohibitions
(1)           A vitamin, mineral, food additive or nutritive substance must not be added to infant formula product unless –
(a)          expressly permitted by this Code; or
(b)          it is naturally present in an ingredient of the infant formula product.
(2)           Infant formula product must contain no detectable gluten.
7             Permitted nutritive substances
(1)           Any nutritive substance listed in column 1 of the Table to this clause may be added to infant formula product provided that –
(a)          the nutritive substance is in one or more of the forms specified in column 2 of the Table in relation to that substance; and
(b)          the total amount of the nutritive substance in the infant formula product is no more than the added and any naturally occurring amount specified in column 4 of the Table.
(2)           The label on a package of infant formula product must not include any words indicating, or any other indication, that the product contains a nutritive substance specified in column 1 or in column 2 of the Table to this clause unless the total amount of the added and any naturally occurring nutritive substance in the food is no less than the amount specified in column 3 of the Table.
