About
Manufacturers of infant formula and related products must comply with the International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes. In addition, all manufacturers of nutrition supplies must conform to good manufacturing practice (GMP) standards. Furthermore, manufacturers must comply, except when otherwise specified, with the Standards and Guidelines on Foods for Infants and Children of the Codex Alimentarius (Vol. 4, 2nd Ed., FAO Rome 1994.)
UNICEF Technical Requirements for Nutritional Products provide a technical guide to suppliers in terms of UNICEF’s expectations for quality, safety and efficacy of products and are part of the contractual provisions (long-term agreements - LTAs) and Purchase orders - POs), in addition to UNICEF specifications.
