Brussels - based consumer organisation Specialised Nutrition Europe ( SE ) has called on the European Union to improve food safety rules for infant formulas and sport nutrition products . Responding to SNE's suggestions, Dr Adam Carey, chair of the European Specialist Sports Nutrition Alliance (ESSNA) said, "ESSNA agrees that sportspeople have some very specific nutritional needs and requirements that differ from the general population's, and that these must be taken into consideration when legislation is being produced. SNE warned current legislation , introduced two years ago , had not set out adequately robust contents and ingredients requirements , and called for a policy framework that recognised the " role of specialised nutrition products as a way to tackle societal challenges " . The group warned that the lack of specific rules will lower benefits for consumers and increase the risk of them developing malnourishment , diabetes and allergies .
