Medical Foods

Medical foods are foods that are formulated and intended for the dietary management of a disease. Medical foods are called "food for special medical purposes", are distinct from the broader category of foods for special dietary use, from traditional foods that bear a health claim, and from dietary supplements. To be considered a medical food the product must, at a minimum: be a food for  oral ingestion or tube feeding; be labelled for the dietary management of a specific medical disorder, disease, or condition that there are distinctive nutritional requirements, and be intended to be used under medical supervision.

Medical foods can be classified into the categories of:

• Complete nutritional formulae

• Incomplete dietary formulae

• Metabolic Disorders formulae

• Hydrated oral goods
