[A] food that has been developed with a specific function, such as reducing fat, preventing or treating a disease, or meeting the particular needs of a specific group.

CONT

No regulatory definition has been given to "designer food". It can be defined as food designed to meet a particular objective; this may involve: - being suitable for a special diet (e.g.: salt-free foods); in this case, the product is a dietary product. - stimulating a particular function, and in this case it is functional food. However, all functional foods are not designer foods. - treating an illness and in this case we have a "pharmafood".

CONT

Un groupe particulier au sein des aliments «sur mesure» est celui des aliments dits fonctionnels. Il s'agit d'aliments qui, en raison de leur composition, peuvent exercer un effet positif sur les fonctions de l'organisme et sur la santé de l'individu quand ils sont consommés quotidiennement. Un aliment fonctionnel peut être un aliment naturel ou un aliment auquel on a ajouté une substance bioactive ou encore un produit duquel on a retiré un composé exerçant un effet physiologique négatif.

OBS

Aliments destinés à une alimentation particulière.
