Objective To analyze the product information, food label and nutrients composition characteristics of approved foods for special medical purposes (FSMP). To analyze the product information,food label and nutrients composition characteristics of approved foods for spe cial medical purposes(FSMP). Methods The product and label information of approved FSMP products were collected from China's State Administration for Market Regulation by March 5,2021, and the classification, ingredients characteristics and nutrients content of each product as well as the comparison with standard requirements were analyzed. The product and label information of approved FSMP products were collected from China's State Administration for Market Regulation by March 5,2021, and the classification, ingredients characteristics and nutrients content of each product as well as the comparison with standard requirements were analyzed. Results There are 58 approved FSMP products in China at present.Most labeled nutrient contents were slightly higher than the minimum and lower than the middle line of content requirements of national standard. More than 50% of the products added choline, inositol, taurine and L-carnitine, and 72.2% of complete-nutrition formula added dietary fiber. The almost labelled nutrients content are slightly higher than the minimum and lower than the middle line of content requirements of GB standard. The addition of choline, inositol, taurine and L-carnitine were more than 50 percent and the proportion of dietary fiber used in the total nutrition formula reached 72.2 percent. Conclusion The approved FSMP products had basically covered all categories in China. Nevertheless, the specific complete-nutrition food and incomplete-nutrition food were inadequate which were urgent in need of research and development. The nutrients content of FSMP products were within the ideal range of GB standard. The approved FSMP products have basically covered all classifications in China, nevertheless, the specific nutritionally complete food and partial types of nutritionally incomplete food were lacking which are urgent in need of research and development. The nutrients content of FSMP products falls within the ideal range of GB standard as a whole.
