15、he hydrolysate of one or more of the proteins on which infant formula product is normally based; or(c) a combination of L-amino acids and the hydrolysate of one or more of the proteins on which infant formula product is normally based.Editorial note:Subclause 1(2) is structured to indicate that the
16、definitions of specific infant formula products are within the more general infant formula product definition. Therefore the usual practice of listing definitions in alphabetical order has not been applied in this subclause.2 InterpretationA reference to any infant formula product in the composition
17、al provisions of this Standard is a reference to (a) a powdered or concentrated form of infant formula product which has been reconstituted with water according to directions; or(b) an infant formula product in ready to drink form.Subdivision 2 Calculations3 Calculation of energyThe energy content o
18、f infant formula product, expressed in kilojoules (kJ), must be calculated using (a) only the energy value contributions of the fat, protein and carbohydrate ingredients of the infant formula product; and(b) the relevant energy factors set out in Standard 1.2.8.4 Calculation of proteinThe prescribed
19、 formula for the calculation of the protein content of infant formula product for the purposes of this Standard is FormulaFor milk proteins and their partial protein hydrolysates Protein content = nitrogen content x 6.38; orIn any other case Protein content = nitrogen content x 6.25.5 Calculation of
20、 potential renal solute loadThe prescribed formula for the calculation of the potential renal solute load for the purposes of this Standard is FormulaPotential renal solute load in mOsm/100 kJ = Na (mg/100 kJ) /23 + Cl (mg/100 kJ) /35+ K (mg/100 kJ) /39 + P avail (mg/100 kJ)/ 31 + N (mg/100 kJ) /28)
21、.In this formulaP avail = P of milk-based formula + 2/3 of P of soy-based formulas.Subdivision 3 General compositional requirements6 Restrictions and prohibitions(1) A vitamin, mineral, food additive or nutritive substance must not be added to infant formula product unless (a) expressly permitted by
22、 this Code; or(b) it is naturally present in an ingredient of the infant formula product.(2) Infant formula product must contain no detectable gluten.7 Permitted nutritive substances(1) Any nutritive substance listed in column 1 of the Table to this clause may be added to infant formula product prov
23、ided that (a) the nutritive substance is in one or more of the forms specified in column 2 of the Table in relation to that substance; and(b) the total amount of the nutritive substance in the infant formula product is no more than the added and any naturally occurring amount specified in column 4 o
24、f the Table.(2) The label on a package of infant formula product must not include any words indicating, or any other indication, that the product contains a nutritive substance specified in column 1 or in column 2 of the Table to this clause unless the total amount of the added and any naturally occ
25、urring nutritive substance in the food is no less than the amount specified in column 3 of the Table.Table to clause 7Column 1Column 2Column 3Column 4Nutritive substancePermitted formsMinimum amount per 100 kJMaximum amount per 100 kJAdenosine 5-monophosphateAdenosine 5-monophosphate0.14 mg0.38 mgL-

30、) For subclause (1) the maximum permitted amount only applies when the substances are added. In that case the maximum permitted amount then applies to the sum of the naturally occurring and the added substances. 10 Limit on aluminium(1) Infant formula product, other than a pre-term formula or soy-ba
31、sed formula product, must contain no more than 0.05 mg of aluminium per 100 mL.(2) Pre-term formula must contain no more than 0.02 mg of aluminium per 100 mL.(3) Soy-based formula must contain no more than 0.1 mg of aluminium per 100 mL.Editorial note:Standard 1.4.1 contains the maximum level (ML) of lead contaminant in infant formula products.
