APPENDIX
NATIONAL AGENCY OF DRUG AND FOOD CONTROL
REGULATION NUMBER 19 YEAR 2019
ON
AMENDMENT TO NATIONAL AGENCY FOR DRUG AND
FOOD CONTROL REGULATION NUMBER 1 YEAR 2018
ON SUPERVISION OF PROCESSED FOOD FOR SPECIAL
NUTRITIONAL PURPOSE

A. REQUIREMENTS FOR SAFETY, QUALITY, NUTRITION, AND LABELLING


OF PROCESSED FOOD FOR SPECIAL DIETARY USE (FSDU)
A.1. FSDU FOR INFANTS AND CHILDREN GROUPS
A.1.1. INFANT FORMULA
1. SCOPE
1.1. This provision applies to Infant Formula in the form of liquid or powder
which if necessary is used as replacement for human breast milk to meet
normal nutritional requirements for infants. "if necessary" in this case is
conditions in which the mother cannot/may not breastfeed the baby, e.g.
when the mother is deceased or is with an infectious disease, or when the
infant is unable to consume human breast milk due to certain conditions.
1.2. This provision incorporates description of the requirements for raw
material, quality, safety, and labelling of Infant Formula.
1.3. Only products meeting criteria within this provision may be marketed as
Infant Formula. Products other than Infant Formula are neither
marketable as nor declared suitable for infant consumption that by itself
will meet the nutritional requirements for normal and healthy infant
during the first few months of life.

2. DESCRIPTION AND DEFINITION


2.1. Infant Formula is replacement formula for human breast milk to be
consumed by infants up to 6 (six) months of age, specifically formulated
as their only source of nutrition in the first months of life until
Complementary Food is introduced.
-10-

2.2. Infant Formula product is physically processed only and packaged to


avoid damage and contamination during handling, storage, and
distribution under normal conditions where the product is sold.
2.3. Infant is a person up to 12 (twelve) months of age.
2.4. Essential amino acids are amino acids the human body cannot
synthesise, thus are only obtainable from external sources.
2.5. Upper Limit (UL) is the highest value of nutrient content obtained based
on considerations to infant nutritional requirements and safe history of
use, but is not based on risk assessment.
UL may be adjusted based on the advancements of science and
technology. UL serves as a guidance for producers and not to be
considered as a value to be achieved. A nutrient content in Infant
Formula usually does not exceed UL unless unavoidable due to diversity
of ingredients or technological reasons.

3. REQUIREMENTS FOR QUALITY


3.1. Raw Materials
3.1.1. Infant Formula is product based on milk from either cow, other animals,
or a mixture of both, and/or other ingredients proven suitable for infant
consumption. Safety and adequacy of nutrient content in Infant Formula
must be scientifically evidenced able of supporting infant growth and
development.
3.1.2. All raw materials must be clean, of good quality, safe, gluten-free, and
suitable for infant consumption. Product must meet standard
requirements for quality e.g. in colour, taste, and odour.
3.1.3. Product must be free of clumps and large particles, and presentable
according to infant needs.

3.2. Nutritional Content


3.2.1. Energy
Infant Formula ready for consumption must contain energy not less than
60 kcal and not more than 70 kcal per 100 mL when prepared according
to preparation instruction.
-11-

3.2.2. Protein
Protein within Infant Formula may be sourced from milk or soy protein
isolate.
Protein Source Unit Minimum Maximum UL
Milk protein g/100 kcal 1.8 3.0 -
Soy protein isolate g/100 kcal 2.25 3.0 -

Quality of protein is equivalent to that of casein or with higher amount


of other proteins if the quality is less than that of casein. Protein quality
must not be less than 85% of casein quality.
Within this Regulation, the calculation of protein content in an end
product ready for consumption must be based on N x 6.25, unless there
are certain scientific considerations for different conversion factors in a
particular product. Determination of protein content in cow-milk based
product is based on nitrogen conversion factor 6.25. The 6.38 conversion
factor is generally defined as a specific factor for the conversion of
nitrogen to proteins in other dairy products, and a 5.71 conversion factor
is specifically used for the conversion of nitrogen to proteins in soy
product.
Amino acid isolates may be added into Infant Formula to increase its
nutritional value. Essential and semi-essential amino acids may be added
only to the amount needed to improve the quality of the protein. Only L-
form amino acids may be used.
For energy amount in Infant Formula to be similar to human breast milk,
the formula must contain essential and semi-essential amino acids
content in amount at least equal to that in human breast milk protein
reference. The reference of types and amount of the essential and semi-
essential amino acids that may be added is as follows:
Amino Acid Average quantity in human breast milk
(mg amino acid per)
g nitrogen g protein 100 kcal
Cysteine 131 21 38
Histidine 141 23 41
Isoleucine 319 51 92
Leucine 586 94 169
Lysine 395 63 114
Methionine 85 14 24
Phenylalanine 282 45 81
-12-

Threonine 268 43 77
Tryptophan 114 18 33
Tyrosine 259 42 75
Valine 315 50 90
Note:
Essential and semi-essential amino acids content in human breast milk is expressed in mg per g
nitrogen, mg per g protein, and mg per 100 kcal.
The lowest protein content in human breast milk is 1.8 g/100 kcal. If calculation is based on mg
amino acid/g nitrogen use the 6.25 divider factor and multiply by 1.8. The average value is
obtained from several studies of amino acid content expressed in units per g protein (total
nitrogen x 6.25) and per 100 kcal energy.

For calculation purposes, concentrations of tyrosine and phenylalanine may be


summed together, as also concentrations of methionine and cysteine if the ratio
between them is less than 2:1. If the ratio is between 2:1 and 3:1, the formula’s
feasibility must be evidenced by clinical trial. Conditional
semi-essential/essential amino acids are amino acids which in certain conditions
cannot be produced by the human body.
If Infant Formula contains non-hydrolysate milk protein less than 2 g/100 kcal
or hydrolysate protein less than 2.25 g/100 kcal, the formula must be clinically
evaluated.
3.2.3. Fat
Nutrient Unit Requirement Note

Lauric acid and myristic acid are elements of fat, and the content of both
combined must not be more than 20% of total fatty acid content. Content of
trans fatty acids must not be more than 3% of total fatty acid content. Content of
erucic acid must not be more than 1% of total fatty acid content. Content of
total phospholipids must not be more than 300 mg/100 kcal.

Within this Regulation, the calculation of protein content in Follow On
Formula ready for consumption must be based on N x 6.25, unless there
are certain scientific considerations for different conversion factors in a
particular product. Determination of protein content in cow-milk based
-22-

product is based on nitrogen conversion factor 6.25. The 6.38 conversion


factor is generally defined as a specific factor for the conversion of
nitrogen to proteins in other dairy products, and a 5.71 conversion factor
is specifically used for the conversion of nitrogen to proteins in soy
product.
Amino acid isolates may be added into Follow On Formula to increase
its nutritional value. Essential and semi-essential amino acids may be
added only to the amount needed to improve the quality of the protein.
Only L-form amino acids may be used.
For energy amount in Follow On Formula to be similar to human breast
milk, the formula must contain essential and semi-essential amino acids
content in amount at least equal to that in human breast milk protein
reference. The reference of types and amount of the essential and semi-
essential amino acids that may be added is as follows:
Amino Acid Average range quantity in human breast milk
(mg amino acid per)
g nitrogen g protein 100 kcal
Cysteine 101-173 21 29-50
Histidine 108-255 23 31-73
Isoleucine 242-376 51 70-108
Leucine 457-713 94 132-205
Lysine 314-522 63 90-150
Methionine 73-99 14 21-29
Phenylalanine 153-440 45 44-127
Threonine 217-344 43 62-99
Tryptophan 79-172 18 23-50
Tyrosine 201-369 42 55-86
Valine 253-376 50 73-108
Note:
Essential and semi-essential amino acids content in human breast milk is expressed in mg per g
nitrogen, mg per g protein, and mg per 100 kcal.
The lowest protein content in human breast milk is 1.8 g/100 kcal. If calculation is based on mg
amino acid/g nitrogen use the 6.25 divider factor and multiply by 1.8. The average value is
obtained from several studies of amino acid content expressed in units per g protein (total
nitrogen x 6.25) and per 100 kcal energy.

For calculation purposes, concentrations of tyrosine and phenylalanine may be


summed together, as also concentrations of methionine and cysteine if the ratio
between them is less than 2:1. If the ratio is between 2:1 and 3:1, the formula’s
feasibility must be evidenced by clinical trial. Conditional
-23-

semi-essential/essential amino acids are amino acids which in certain conditions


cannot be produced by the human body.
If Follow On Formula contains non-hydrolysate milk protein less than
1.8 g/100 kcal or hydrolysate protein less than 2.25 g/100 kcal, the
formula must be clinically evaluated.
