Council Directive 89/398/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to foodstuffs intended for particular nutritional uses.

This Directive concerns foodstuffs for particular nutritional uses. Foodstuffs for particular nutritional uses are foodstuffs which, owing to their special composition or manufacturing process, are clearly distinguishable from foodstuffs for normal consumption, which are suitable for their claimed nutritional purposes and which are marketed in such a way as to indicate such suitability. The nature or composition of the products referred to in Article 1 must be such that the products are appropriate for the particular nutritional use intended.
