BSNA - British Specialist Nutrition Association

The British Specialist Nutrition Association (BSNA) Ltd. is the trade association for the specialist nutrition industry in the UK. The Association represents the manufacturers of foods designed to meet the needs of specific groups of people with very particular nutritional requirements. BSNA member companies produce specialist nutrition for: infants from 0 to 12 months old; young children under 3 years of age; patients with clinically diagnosed diseases, disorders or medical conditions; and provide aseptic compounding services for chemotherapy, antibiotics and Central Intravenous Additive Services (CIVAS). These groups of people have different nutritional needs to the healthy, adult population; they are typically vulnerable groups whose specialist care requires advice and guidance from healthcare professionals. BSNA is recognised by Government, regulators, healthcare professionals and the media as the trade association that speaks on behalf of the specialist nutrition industry in the UK. We communicate the industry’s values, knowledge and concerns and provide accurate and up to date information on specialist foods designed to meet specific nutritional needs.
