Study Overview
Diet foods, also known as "regimen foods" or for "special nutrition," differ from functional foods. While functional foods contain components, often non-nutritious, that positively influence the body's physiological functions and are intended for healthy individuals to maintain health, diet foods are specifically designed for people with certain diseases and require a prescription. The term "diet product" covers a wide range of products with different applications. Only legislation can provide precise criteria to identify the exact nature of these products for consumers.The three categories of consumers to whom diet products are targeted are:
People with reduced, limited or disturbed ability to absorb, digest, assimilate, metabolize or excrete ordinary foods, or with special nutritional needs due to health conditions. People with special physiological conditions who benefit from controlled intake of certain substances in foods. Infants (children under 12 months) or children in early childhood in good health.
