"This report expresses agreement with the Commission’s position on confining the scope of the Regulation to a limited number of foods for particular nutritional uses, with particular emphasis on foods for infants, children under three years of age and people for whom a special diet is vital. Despite excluding from its scope substitute meals replacing all or part of a person’s daily food intake and foodstuffs intended for sportspeople and for intense muscular effort, the Regulation does cover low-calorie diet products, including them in the definition of food for special medical purposes, intended for obese patients, with proper medical authorisation and supervision. In terms of the reference to allergens, the report amends the Commission proposal, as the latter does not provide a suitable legal framework for gluten- or lactose-intolerant people, or those with other forms of food intolerance, as it does not include the nutritional profiles of foodstuffs, which are key to determining whether or not a given foodstuff may be used. Finally, it expresses concern with ensuring that products for newborns and young children, among other vulnerable population groups, are free of pesticides or any other toxic substances. We voted in favour, as we support these controls."@en1
