EFSA | Calcium l-methylfolate as a source of folate added for nutritional purposes to infants

Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Nutrition, Novel Foods and Food Allergens (NDA) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the extension of use of  calcium L-methylfolate to be used as a source of folate added for nutritional purposes to infant and follow‐on formula, baby food and processed cereal‐based food pursuant to Regulation (EU) 609/2013. In 2004, EFSA assessed the use of calcium L-methylfolate as a source of folate in foods for particular nutritional uses, food supplements and foods intended for the general population.
