#InfantFormula must be fit for the most vulnerable population: infants. That's why quality and safety are unequivocal priorities for manufacturers.

Our latest factsheet explains the stringent measures manufacturers take, as well as the key role of parents and caregivers 👇

ISDI participated in #CodexCAC49 last week, which brought together the Codex community from around the world to discuss and adopt science-based international food standards that protect consumer health and facilitate fair practices in the food trade.

On #WorldFoodSafetyDay, we reaffirm a shared commitment to #SafeFood for all. This year’s theme is a powerful reminder that #FoodSafety is both a public health imperative and a practical, science-driven endeavour that requires sustained collaboration across the food chain.

Data is power in #FoodSafety. Understanding the magnitude, distribution and impact of foodborne risks helps target interventions, strengthen food control systems and improve practices across the chain.

Food safety is a shared responsibility. Regulators, governments, policy-makers, industry, scientists and other #FoodSafety stakeholders all have a role to play in working together to deliver safe food and better health for all.

People with special dietary needs depend on safe and nutritious foods in their everyday lives. That is why #FoodSafety is at the heart of the design, production and use of special dietary foods.

Foodborne risks don't affect everyone equally. For people with special dietary needs, food safety is not optional. That means manufacturers of special dietary foods operate in a high-responsibility environment, placing #FoodSafety at the centre of everything they do.

#CCFA56 is underway in Chongqing (CN) bringing #Codex Members together on the safe use of food additives. Key dairy issues include JECFA evaluations and improved risk‑based, consistent approaches. FIL-IDF is actively engaged. 🥛🌍
Two delegates stand inside a conference room holding an “IDF/FIL” sign, with meeting tables, laptops, and other participants visible in the background. Participants stand and talk in small groups during a conference break, holding coffee cups in a bright hallway with other attendees in the background. Several delegates sit at desks during a formal meeting, listening attentively with laptops, microphones, and water bottles. An IDF/FIL nameplate is visible at the table. Four conference participants stand in front of a large backdrop reading “56th Session of the Codex Committee on Food Additives, Chongqing, China,” posing for a photo at the CCFA56 venue.

Getting the macronutrient balance right is fundamental to infant and young child nutrition.

Carbohydrates, proteins and fats are interdependent energy sources. They must be carefully calibrated to support healthy growth, development and long‑term wellbeing.

When it comes to chemicals in food, public perception often favours minimal levels, but does this reflect the science?

✅ Join us on 16 October to better understand the real story behind chemical limits in food and why lower doesn’t always mean safer.
