PARNUTs are feedstuffs for particular nutritional purposes, also known as dietetic feed, for animals’ health. PARNUTs meet the specific nutritional needs of animals whose bodily functions are, or could be, temporarily or irreversibly impaired.
PARNUTs can satisfy a specific nutritional purpose by:
- particular composition
- particular method of production
Feed intended for particular nutritional purposes may only be marketed in Great Britain (GB) if:
- its intended use is included in the list of intended uses, and
- it meets the essential nutritional characteristics for the respective particular nutritional purpose included in that list
Regulation (EU) 2020/354 has established a list of intended uses of feed intended for particular nutritional purposes.
The process to update the list of intended uses can be initiated by submitting a request.
