Follow-up formula


Explanation:
"The term “follow-up formula” is defined in the relevant Codex Alimentarius standard1 as “a food intended for use as a liquid part of the weaning diet for the infant from the 6th month on and for young children”.

Example sentence(s):
  • "Do not feed NXXXXX's CXXXXXXXn Follow-Up Formula to babies less than 4 months of age."
