Dietetic Feed (PARNUTs)

Dietetic feed, or PARNUTs (feed for particular nutritional purposes), is designed to meet specific nutritional requirements and can be clearly distinguished from ordinary feed. Unlike medicated feed, dietetic feed is formulated to provide benefits like nutritional restoration or support during convalescence and must comply with EU regulations defining its characteristics.

• Labeling: Products must clearly state their nutritional purposes, recommended usage duration, and contain guidelines from a nutrition expert or veterinarian.
• Usage: This feed category is intended for animals with particular dietary needs, ensuring dietary adequacy when combined with other nutrition sources.
• Regulatory Compliance: It is critical for manufacturers to align with Annex I, Part B of Commission Regulation (EU) 2020/354 to ensure products are legally compliant.
