On June 15, the association Standard of "
General Requirements for Children's Snacks" was issued, it systematically regulated the nutritio
nal health and safety of children's snacks. This is the
first special standard for snacks in China and
the first standard of snacks for children. This standard divides children into two stages according to age: 3 to 6 years (within 60 months) are pre-school children; 6 to 12 years are school-age children. According to the growth characteristics of children of different ages, determine the needs of different key nutrients.
Whether the children should eat snacks, Foodmate made a science video. Snacks refer to all foods and drinks except for three meals. Due to the large amount of exercise and small stomach capacity of children during growth period, three meals are difficult to meet the physical needs of. It is necessary to choose healthy snacks to supplement nutrition in a reasonable, timely and appropriate amount. Dairy products, fruits and vegetables, nuts and beans are all good choices.
The “
General Requirements for Children’s Snacks” proposes that the fats and oils used in children’s snacks should
not contain trans fatty acids. The snacks
cannot use irradiated raw materials, add
less sugar, salt, oil, and set
limits for sodium chloride, sucrose, fat. The morphology of the product must not have obvious sharp protrusions, and the products taste without cracking. This standard is currently o
nly a
recommended standard and is not enforced.
