Indian Regulator FSSAI, defines “Infant Food” as a product prepared by spray drying of the milk of cow or buffalo or a mixture thereof. Product modification may be effected by partial removal /substitution of different milk solids, carbohydrates such as sucrose, dextrose and dextrin/maltodextrin, maltose and lactose, salts like phosphates and citrates, vitamins A, C, D, E, B or others and minerals like iron, copper, zinc and iodine.

Safety of food meant for babies and young children is critical on account of their low body weight and increased sensitivity.
