Goals / Remit
Specialised Nutrition Europe (SNE) represents the interests of the European specialised nutrition industry in Europe.
SNE members provide tailor made dietary solutions for populations with very specific nutritional needs including infants and young children, individuals under medical supervision, sportspeople, overweight and obese consumers, and those suffering from coeliac disease. SNE aims to be recognised for the importance of these products in Europe, which 90% of Europeans will need at some stage in their lives.
The association aims to increase awareness and understanding of these specific products (the so-called foods for specific groups) and the way in which they meet the needs of European consumers with particular dietary requirements.
With over fifty years of experience, SNE gathers and coordinates the detailed technical and regulatory expertise of members to develop common industry positions at EU level and help to support European public policy decisions.Main EU files targeted

The specialised nutrition industry is one of the most strictly regulated sectors in the European Union, with legislation covering hygiene, additives, labelling, and advertising, among other areas.
Given the contribution of these products to public health in Europe, specific legislation covering their composition, production, labelling and marketing has been harmonised at EU level since 1989, thereby guaranteeing a safe and effective use of these products by the consumers who rely on them. These strict levels of regulatory control support our industry aim of ensuring consumer trust.
Directive 2009/39/EC of the European Parliament and Council of 6 May 2009 on Foodstuffs intended for Particular nutritional uses (PARNUTs) provides the current legal framework for these foods.
However, this Framework Directive was reviewed in 2013. The new Regulation on Foods for Specific Groups (Regulation (EU) 609/2013) was published in the Official Journal of the EU in July 2013, and became applicable as from 21 July 2016.
The new Regulation reconfirms the specific nature of specialised nutrition products and continues to provide an umbrella legislative framework for various category-specific products. At the same time, it refines the scope of the former PARNUTs Regulation and provides a new and modernised legislative landscape for specialised nutrition.
