The objectives of this paper are to provide practical guidelines and assistance to members of the Codex Alimentarius Commission on how to determine protein quality in follow-up formula for young children (FUF-YC) using the protein digestibility-corrected amino acid score (PDCAAS) method. The report supplements guidance provided in a previous 2018 Report by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) on protein quality assessment in follow-up formula for young children and ready to use therapeutic foods. The overall outputs of the publication contribute to the determination of protein quality in products for young children and to the FAO Strategic Objective for acheiving Better Nutrition. The publication further contributres to SDG 2 (End hunger, acheive food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture) and SDG 12 (Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns).
