1.1 Baby foods are foods intended primarily for use during the normal infant's weaning period and also for the progressive adaptation of infants and children to ordinary food. They may be either in ready-to-eat form or in dry form requiring reconstitution with water only. They do not include products covered by the Recommended International Standard for Infant Formula or by the Recommended International Standard for Processed Cereal-Based Foods for Infants and Children.
1.2 Baby foods in ready-to-eat form are processed by heat before or after being sealed in their containers, and baby foods in dry form are processed by physical means, in each case so as to prevent spoilage.
