On December 11, 2020, the Ukrainian Ministry of Economy, Trade and Agriculture published a draft law on its website to revise the regulations on the management of food for infants. Some of the revised contents include:

1. Clarify the age boundary between infants and young children, and add new definitions and classifications of products such as subsequent feeding of infant foods and cereal-based infant foods;

2. Add new quality requirements for infant formula and formula food for special medical purposes;

3. Newly added a list of prohibited substances in infant foods (including non-natural flavors and fragrances, colors, preservatives, sweeteners, hydrogenated vegetable oils, unqualified raw milk, genetically modified raw materials, mechanical separation and repeated freezing/thawing Meat and aquatic products, etc.);

4. Newly added a list of information that needs to be compulsively marked on the packaging of infant food and additional requirements for different types of products;

5. Revise the customs clearance process for imported infant food and the information and data requirements that importers need to provide.

The purpose of the amendment is to align the requirements of the Ukrainian infant food management regulations with the EU. The draft feedback period is 6 months.
