           2.9.5—18 Compositional requirements for very low energy diets

            (1) A *very low energy food must, when consumed according to the manufacturer's directions for use, result in a diet that:

               (a) has an *average energy content of no less than 1880 kJ/day and no more than 3345 kJ/day; and
               (b) contains not less than 50 g of *available carbohydrates present within the average energy content required by paragraph (a); and
               (c) contains not less than 50 g protein per day with a nutritional quality equivalent to a protein digestibility corrected amino acid score of 1, present within the average energy content required by paragraph (a); and
               (d)  contains within the average energy content required by paragraph (a) not less than:
                   (i) 3 g of linoleic acid; and

            (3) For this section, protein digestibility corrected amino acid score means the score calculated and expressed in accordance with the method referred to on page 23 of the Report of the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Consultation on Protein Quality Evaluation, Bethesda, MD USA, 4-8 December 1989, FAO Food and Nutrition Paper No. 51, Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations, Rome, 1991.
