• Abstract:

  Concern for patient safety and the authenticity and safety of health products is increasingly present throughout the world to control the risks to which the patient is subjected. The Dietetic Milk Service is the unit destined to the preparation, packaging, preservation, sterilization and distribution of milk diets, which hospitalized infants receive, when breast milk is not available. The health authority establishes that the Dietetic Milk Service must have a procedure that allows it to trace all stages of production of its formulas, including raw materials and packaging materials; however, there is no regulation, guide and/or manual for the implementation of the traceability system for the Dietetic Milk Service.
  The objective of this monograph is to propose the incorporation of a traceability policy for the Technical Guidance of Dietary Milk Services.
