In line with the ambitious targets of the plan to drastically improve the health of the Chinese populace by 2030 and reduce China's burden of disease (particurly chronic disease with a dietary components in the etiology), special foods (health foods, food for special medical purposes, infant formula, etc.) are garnering increased attention and emerging as an important adjunct in the fight against China's impending health crisis.
