The medical foods category is one regulatory pathway available to companies wishing to market foods intended for dietary management of patients unable to obtain nutrients through dietary modification. Typically, medical foods are used under medical supervision.
According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), medical foods are a regulatory category applicable to foods “formulated to be consumed or administered enterally under the supervision of a physician and which is intended for the specific dietary management of a disease or condition for which distinctive nutritional requirements, based on recognized scientific principles, are established by medical evaluation.”
