Regulation of Foods Containing Probiotics - Codex Alimentarius, Japan, European Union and India
Abstract:
In 2002, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) published the ‘Guidelines for the Evaluation of Probiotics in Food’,and recommended the most widely accepted definition of the term ‘probiotic’ as ‘Live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit to the host’.(1) This definition encompasses the food well as the non-food applications of the term.
