Medical foods are specially formulated products intended for the dietary management of diseases or conditions with distinctive nutritional needs that cannot be met by a normal diet alone. They are used under medical supervision and are typically prescribed by healthcare professionals. Medical foods differ from drugs and dietary supplements in that they do not require FDA approval but must adhere to specific labeling requirements under the Orphan Drug Act. These products are commonly used to manage conditions such as phenylketonuria, Alzheimer’s disease, chronic kidney disease, and metabolic disorders.

Medical foods come in various forms, including oral supplements, powders, and formulas, and are tailored to support specific metabolic processes or deficiencies. Their composition is carefully designed to target the unique nutritional needs of individuals with particular diseases. Unlike general food products, medical foods are often exempt from certain food additive regulations due to their therapeutic use. As the prevalence of chronic diseases continues to rise globally, the demand for medical foods is growing, particularly in clinical nutrition and long-term care settings.
