Legal Framework
TDRs and MRPs are governed by European legislation and relevant international and national standards. While TDRs are regulated through Regulation on Foods for Specific Groups (609/2013/EU), MRPs are regulated under general food law and can bear specific claims, also regulated by EU provisions.
Nutritional requirements for TDRs are provided by Commission Delegated Regulation 2017/1798 supplementing Regulation (EU) No 609/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the specific compositional and information requirements for total diet replacement for weight control.
