The Order sets rules on the production of infant food formulae and the supplement mixtures as replacement of breastfeeding milk. The production of infant supplement food must follow standard requirements with regard to the composition of such commodities prior to their sale. European producers, EU importers or those responsible for the infant formula's first marketing in Denmark must submit an example of the label used to the Food Administration prior to production and sale in the country. Penalty for non-compliance can reach up to two years of imprisonment.
