FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Second Revision) wasadopted bythe Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized
by the Foodgrains, Starches and Ready-to-Eat Foods Sectional Committee had been approved by the Food and
Agriculture Division Council.
This standard was first published in 1985 and subsequently revised in 1997 to harmonize the standard with
Statutory Rules and Regulations. In this revision, recommendatory list of sources of vitamin compounds and
minerals salts, list of permitted Food Additives have been included and the chemical and microbiological
requirements updated. Inviewoftheabove inclusionsandupdations, thestandard isbeingrevised forharmonizing
therequirements andtitle ofthe standard withthe standard forProcessed-cereal based complementary foods laid
down under the Prevention of FoodAdulteration Rules, 1955.
Processed-cereal based complementary foods aremainly intended toaccustom the infant’sdigestive tracttosolid
foods.Nutritionally, thiscategory offoodsservesasanimportantsourceofcaloriestomeettheenergyrequirements
dueto increased physical activity of infant. Beginning with the introduction of cereals after four months of age,
the intake isslowly increased sothat by 8months ofageand onwards nearly half ofthe total intake isfrommilk
and remaining from cereals and a variety of other foods. With such a feeding practice, milk almost completely
meetstheprotein requirements, while cereals and/or other foods meetthe energy and satiety requirements ofthe
infant.
The various types of foods for infant being marketed inour country have been placed under the following two
categories, under theInfarttMilk Substitutes, FeedingBottles andInfant Foods(Regulation ofProduction, Supply
and Distribution) Act, 1992:
a) Infant milk substitutes, and
b) Infant foods.
‘Infantmilk substitute’ means anyfood being marketed orotherwise represented asapartial ortotal replacement
formother’smilk,whether ornot itissuitable forsuchreplacement. Therequirements ofinfantmilksubstituteare
covered inIS 14433.

‘Infantfood’means anyfood being marketed orotherwise represented asacomplement tomother’s milktomeet
the growing nutritional needs ofthe infant afterthe ageofsixmonths.
At present mainly two tfies of infant foods are being marketed in our country, namely, milk-cereal based
complementary foods and processed cereal-based complementary foods. This standard covers the requirements
for processed-cereal based complementary foods and a separate standard, IS 1656 covers the requirements for
milk-cereal based complementary foods.
Whileformulatingthisstandard,dueconsiderationhasbeengiventotherelevantrulesprescribed bytheGovernment
ofIndia,namelyRule37-A, 37-B,49(19) anditemsunderAppendix BofPFARules, 1955;InfantMilkSubstitutes,
FeedingBottles andInfant Foods(Regulation ofProduction, Supply and Distribution) Act, 1992andRules 1993;
Rule 5and ‘Third Schedule’ ofthe Standards of Weightsand Measures (Packaged Commodities) Rules, 1971.
The various statutory Rules indicated were valid at the time of publication of this standard. Since the statutory
RulesandActs areupdated fromtime-to-time, this standard issubject totherestrictions imposed under theseacts
andrules wherever applicable.
Aschemeforlabelling environment friendly products known asECO-Mark hasbeen introduced attheinstanceof
theMinistry ofEnvironment andForests (MEF), Government of India. The ECO-Mark shallbe administered by
the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) under the BLSAct, 1986 asper the Resolution No. 71 dated 20 February
